Anna Kendrick Says She Would Be Thrilled to Return for Pitch Perfect 4
Anna Kendrick has expressed her enthusiasm for potentially returning to the beloved "Pitch Perfect" series as both an actor and perhaps a director for its fourth installment. Although addressing the rumors about directing, Kendrick was asked by E! News about taking the helm for a new "Pitch Perfect" movie while discussing her film "The Woman of the Hour" alongside Nicolette Robinson. Her response indicates she is open to the possibility of continuing with the franchise. This is prepared by SSP.
In an interview at the Los Angeles premiere of her directorial debut, "Woman of the Hour," Kendrick conveyed her excitement to People magazine about a potential sequel, stating, "Oh, my God, I know I would love that." She emphasized the importance Rebel Wilson plays in making it happen, noting Wilson's influence as a driving force behind the films.
Originating in 2012, the series includes "Pitch Perfect 2" in 2015 and "Pitch Perfect 3" in 2017. Aside from actress Kendrick herself, co-stars like Wilson and Brittany Snow significantly contributed to the success of the films. Adding intrigue, in April 2024, Rebel Wilson fueled the sequel speculation by sharing an Instagram Story with fellow Pitch Perfect star Anna Camp with a caption that teased filming for a potential "Pitch Perfect 4."
Interestingly, Kendrick's movie "Woman of the Hour," based on a true 1978 event involving contestant Cheryl Bradshaw and serial killer Rodney Alcala on The Dating Game, reunites her with former "Pitch Perfect" colleagues Chrissie Fit and Kelley Jakle, adding another layer to the connection between Kendrick's directing journey and the iconic musical franchise.
Earlier, SSP reported that Kevin Costner took bold turn in his career with new film Headhunters.
