They were joined by a cast that included Jesse Metcalfe, Ashanti, Arielle Kebbel, Sophia Bush, and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg. Over a decade and a half after the release ofJohn Tucker Must Die, thedevelopment ofJohn Tucker Must Die 2was announced earlier this year.
In a conversation on Badgley’s podcastPodcrushed, Snow and Badgley provide an update on the status ofJohn Tucker Must Die 2.Snow began the conversation by mentioning that she had “gotten no call” about an offer to return to starinJohn Tucker Must Die 2. Badgley echoed a similar sentiment and added that the sequel is “maybe possible like the superposition quantum physics,” but did not seem to have any news on the sequel’s progress. Check out the quotes from Snow and Badgley below:
Snow: Penn, I don’t know if you’ve had a call, but I’ve gotten no call.
Badgley: Yeah, I’ve had no call, no. I mean, it’s maybe possible like the superposition quantum physics, like everything is potentially within the realm of, like, maybe this apple will fall up, I can’t actually say with certainty.
What We Know About John Tucker Must Die 2 So Far
The Sequel Might Not Be Coming Any Time Soon
Snow and Badgley’sJohn Tucker Must Die 2non-update is certainly disappointing for the status of the sequel. Though it’s possible that the film is indeed in development but has not figured out the full casting yet,nothing that either actor said seems promising.Badgley’s statement is particularly disheartening, as through his physics analogy and saying that he “can’t actually say with certainty” whether the cards will align for the sequel, it seems that the status of the sequel itself may hang in the balance.
This update seems to be in direct contrast to the film’s original status update earlier this year. In late March,John Tucker Must Die’s Kebbel said that she “started producing a few years ago” and that “there is a script” forJohn Tucker Must Die 2. She also said thatit “does involve all of the OG cast.“If this latter part is true, the update from Snow and Badgley is particularly confusing. If the film is supposed to involve all members of the original cast, and two of the stars have yet to be contacted, the future of the movie seems uncertain.
