Kirsten Dunst gives very clear response to a Bring It On sequel

Kirsten Dunst has no interest in a Bring It On sequel.

The 43-year-old actress - who played Toros captain Torrance Shipman in the high school cheerleader comedy - has insisted some things are best left "where they are" rather than everything needing a reboot or revival.

Asked if there's any chance of a follow-up with the film celebrating its 25th anniversary recently, she told Entertainment Tonight: "No.

"I’m like, leave good things where they are."

The interviewer wondered if being a producer and having some creative control would tempt her, but Dunst still dismissed the idea.

She added: "No, no, no, I don’t need to put on a cheerleading outfit. I don’t even know what I would do, be a coach or something?”

The movie, directed by Peyton Reed, follows Torrance (Dunst) of Rancho Carne High, who learns that the former captain of her squad had been stealing routines from the Clovers, a rival cheer team from East Compton.

There have been a number of spinoffs to the 2000 film, including Bring It On Again, All or Nothing, In It To Win It, Fight to the Finish, Worldwide #Cheersmack and Cheer Or Die.

However, Dunst has only ever appeared in the original movie.

In April 2024, she had a less decisive response to the idea of a sequel.

Speaking to ET at the time, she said: "I mean, it depends. Everyone's bringing back their stuff, right?"

She admitted she appreciates that fans are up for "a little throwback", but she'd only consider it on one condition.

She added: "As long as it's not embarrassing."

Director Peyton Reed has remained open to the idea, and in February 2023 he told the outlet that "it could happen".

He said: "We'd always been thinking about it. 'What if there's a legacy sequel that features the whole original cast?'

"Obviously, 20 some years later, we would come at that movie from a totally different direction.

"And Gabrielle [Union] has not only ideas, but great ideas. So, that is something that I hope we can continue to discuss."

Union played Isis, the leader of The Covers team, in the original film, and she previously claimed she's been working on a sequel.

She told Variety in 2023: "We’ve been developing a sequel forever. But for folks who don’t exactly understand how long development can take in Hollywood, that could be five minutes or 50 years.”
