Pitch Perfect 2 Release Date, 3 News: New Sequel A Go, Only Rebel Wilson On Board So Far
While fans of the cult classic "Pitch Perfect" are anticipating the movie's sequel "Pitch Perfect 2" on May 15, one of the film's stars have already confirmed that there will be a third sequel. Rebel Wilson, who plays one of the Barden Bella characters, Fat Amy, recently told a reporter that she has signed on to be part of said sequel.
According to a report in Hollywood Life, Los Angeles Times reporter Amy Kaufman shared the news through a tweet on April 10 that said: "News: Rebel Wilson just told me that there will be a third Pitch Perfect and she recently signed on to be in it (She doesn't know abt Kendrick.)"

It is not yet known if anyone else from the original cast have been signed on. The sequel's plot is also not known. Although it is likely that if there is a sequel, it will follow the adventures and misadventures of the acapella group, the Barden Bellas.
"Pitch Perfect 2" follows the group after they gained some prestige after winning the national collegiate championship. In this film however, some of the characters from the first film are already graduates, but this did not bar their appearance in the second film, such as that of Adam Devine as Bumper, Britanny Snow as Chloe Beale and Anna Camp as Aubrey Posen. This time around, the group faces another challenge of winning an international aca pella competition, which has never been won by an American group.
A report in SlashFilm also cites that if "Pitch Perfect 3" was indeed happening, the film's writers have to contend with the fact that its lead characters Beca and Fat Amy are graduating seniors in the sequel. This means that they have to think of some creative way to bring them back in the third film.
