Kirsten Dunst Reveals She Wouldn’t Want Sequel to Iconic Movie
The Hollywood actress balked at the idea of a reboot of one of her most popular films.
Kirsten Dunst, 43, is not interested in a Bring it On reboot. Dunst, who was just 17 when she filmed the 2000 cheerleading movie, told Denny Directo from Entertainment Tonight that she is not interested in acting or producing a sequel. “No, no,” she said emphatically, “leave good things in the—like, where they are.” The movie, which centers around two high school cheerleading teams as they prepare for a national competition, was followed by six direct-to-video sequels without any of the original stars. “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?” Dunst remarked. But that doesn’t mean Dunst, who has credits in serious indie movies as well as major blockbusters, is not opposed to doing another comedy. “I just want to do something that my kids would love that I was in.” Dunst shares two sons—seven-year-old Ennis and four-year-old James—with her husband, actor Jesse Plemons, 37. In her latest project, Dunst co-starred with Channing Tatum in Roofman, a 2025 dramedy directed by Derek Cianfrance about a veteran-turned-criminal squatting in a Toys “R” Us store.
