Kirsten Dunst Says 'No' to Rebooting a Classic

In a bold move, Kirsten Dunst has firmly stated her disinterest in any form of a sequel to the iconic cheerleading film, 'Bring It On.' Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, the actress, who was just a teenager when she played the lead role, expressed her desire to keep the beloved classic untouched.

"No, no," Dunst asserted when asked about the possibility of reprising her role. "Leave good things in the—like, where they are." The original film, which debuted in 2000, paved the way for a series of sequels that missed the charm brought by the original cast.

Dunst humorously added, "I don’t need to put on a cheerleading outfit, or, I don’t even know what I would do. Be a coach or something?" This statement reflects her desire to embrace new roles rather than revisit past successes.

A New Chapter in Comedy for Dunst

Despite her reservations about revisiting 'Bring It On', Dunst remains open to comedy, particularly projects that resonate with her children. "I just want to do something that my kids would love that I was in," she shared.

Currently, Dunst stars alongside Channing Tatum in the upcoming dramedy 'Roofman,' scheduled for release in 2025. The film delves into the life of a veteran-turned-criminal who finds himself squatting in a Toys “R” Us store, showcasing Dunst’s versatility as an actress.

A Legacy That Stands Alone

Kirsten Dunst's stance on not wanting to pursue a sequel to 'Bring It On' highlights her appreciation for the original film’s legacy. As the industry shifts towards reboots and sequels, her desire to preserve the charm of classic films is a refreshing reminder of the importance of storytelling and originality.

With two young sons, Dunst continues to navigate her career with the intention of selecting projects that not only excite her but also hold significance for her family.
