Kirsten Dunst is not looking back and doesn’t want to reprise her Bring It On role for a sequel or reboot.
Amid the cheerleading movie celebrating its 25th anniversary since its release, Dunst was asked if a follow-up film could be in the works and if it was something that she would be interested in.
“No,” Dunst told Entertainment Tonight during a screening of Roofman, the Derek Cianfrance-directed crime comedy-drama film in which she stars opposite Channing Tatum. “I’m like, leave good things where they are.”
When asked if she would be interested in being attached as a producer, she added, “I don’t need to put on a cheerleading outfit. I don’t even know what I would do, be a coach or something? Let’s leave it as it is.”
Bring It On is a teen comedy directed by Peyton Reed, which was released in 2000. The film stars Dunst as Torrance Shipman, a high school cheerleader who becomes captain of her squad as they prepare for a national competition. The film also starred Eliza Dushku, Jesse Bradford, and Gabrielle Union.
Bring It On was a success at the box office followed by six direct-to-video sequels like Bring It On Again (2004), Brint It On: All Or Nothing (2006), Bring It On: In It to Win It (2007), Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (2009), Bring It On: Worldwide Cheersmack (2017) and Bring It On: Cheer or Die (2022). None of the sequels included any of the original cast members.
Dunst’s take on a Bring It On sequel was a little different than when she was interviewed by ET in 2024. While promoting Civil War, she was asked if she would be interested in a follow-up to the teen film, to which she said, “I mean, it depends. Everyone’s bringing back their stuff, right?” adding that she would do it “as long as it’s not embarrassing.”
