A third Pitch Perfect film is said to be moving forward at Universal Pictures.
Since its release in May, Pitch Perfect 2 has been even more successful, raking in over $250 million (£161 million) at cinemas globally. Its soundtrack entered the US albums chart at Number One.
Universal is now "in negotiations" with Kay Cannon, writer of the first two films, about penning Pitch Perfect 3, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. However, it is unknown whether Elizabeth Banks, who directed Pitch Perfect 2 and served as a producer on both films, will be return to the director's chair.
Rebel Wilson, who plays scene-stealing Fat Amy in the films, confirmed in April that she had signed up for a third film. However, Wilson said at the time that she did not know whether Kendrick was planning to return alongside her. The Pitch Perfect films' other stars include Brittany Snow, Skylar Astin, Adam DeVine and Hailee Steinfeld, who joined the cast for the sequel.
