This is one trilogy no one saw coming. Even though the second film hasn’t come out yet, Rebel Wilson claims that a third Pitch Perfect is in the works already.
Los Angeles Times reporter Amy Kaufman tweeted that Wilson told her that she has already signed a deal to star in the movie. The Australian actress could not say if Anna Kendrick had signed on yet, though.
This isn’t the first time that we’ve heard about the possibility of a third movie with the Bellas. Universal Co-President of Production Peter Cramer already told Entertainment Weekly in January that the studio was “starting to think about it.”
Considering how much bigger Pitch Perfect 2 is, compared to the original film, it will be interesting to see where the franchise can go after the Bellas compete in an international a cappella competition.
Pitch Perfect 2, the directing debut of Elizabeth Banks, doesn’t hit theaters until May 15. The first film grossed $113 million worldwide and became a phenomenon on DVD and Blu-ray, plus came with a best-selling soundtrack.
