Penn Badgley and Brittany Snow haven’t received a call about John Tucker Must Die sequel

Penn Badgley doesn’t think his character has a place in the sequel.

Penn Badgley and Brittany Snow have discussed their potential involvement in a sequel to their 2006 teen comedy John Tucker Must Die.

The movie’s stars Jesse Metcalfe, Sophia Bush and Arielle Kebbel revealed at Epics Con Chicago in March that there was a script for the sequel and it features all of the original cast.

However, the Pitch Perfect actress insisted during a guest appearance on Badgley’s Podcrushed podcast that she has not been called about the project.

“Penn, I don’t know if you’ve had a call, but I’ve gotten no call,” she said, to which the You star replied, “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.”

In the romantic comedy, Bush, Kebbel and Ashanti play three high school girls who discover they are dating the same guy – Metcalfe’s John Tucker. To give him a taste of their own medicine, they enlist new girl Kate, played by Snow, to break John’s heart.

Badgley admitted that he didn’t think his character, John’s brother Scott, would make the cut for the sequel.

“I’ve got the smallest role in the movie, I don’t know if I would belong in it anyway,” he said, to which Snow declared, “I’m not doing it if you’re not doing it.”

The Gossip Girl star then continued, “Never have I even thought of that as a potential thing, but I guess if there was a script, I would read it.”

Snow confirmed that she knew their co-star Kebbel had been trying to get it off the ground for years, so she would also check out the screenplay.

“I didn’t know what happened, and I was like, ‘Go forth. Go forth with that (idea),” she recalled. “So that was the last I had heard of it, was that she was trying to make it happen, and so I guess she did? I will read whatever – they’ve worked really hard.”
