No Hard Feelings director Gene Stupnitsky wrote the role of Maddie specifically for Jennifer Lawrence.
"I didn’t know she would do it, but I wrote it for her," Stupnitsky tells Total Film magazine for its new issue – which is out on newsstands on May 25. "We thought it was interesting to make the character angry. There’s a rage in her that I don’t think she’s fully aware of, and the mask drops when she’s with Percy."
