Here's what we know About Legally Blonde 3.
Legally Blonde fans can take a huge sigh of relief. The 3rd installment of the movie is still on the cards. Reese Witherspoon confirmed the rumors all the way back in 2018. Amazon MGM Studios had made the announcement that Witherspoon herself would be putting on her producer hat for the project. However, it was unfortunately postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Mindy Kaling, a writer for the film, expressed her desire to start shooting in the same year if Witherspoon liked the script and the circumstances allowed.
Legally Blonde 3, which was set to release in May 2022, was delayed due to a script revision by Amazon MGM Studios. Mindy Kaling, in an interview with TIME magazine, explained that the writers wanted to bring Elle Woods to the 21st Century, bringing her characteristics from previous films while also presenting her as a grown woman. Currently, there is no official release date for Legally Blonde 3, but fans can expect the movie to be completed in the next few years.
Legally Blonde 3 is set to be directed by Mindy Kaling, Dan Goor, and Karen McCullah, with Reese Witherspoon reprising her role as Elle Woods. Jennifer Coolidge will return as Paulette, Elle's good friend. Fans are also hoping for Luke Wilson and Selma Blair to appear in the movie, but there is no confirmation yet. The film's current state remains uncertain, but it is expected to be a hit with fans.
In an interview with Access, Mindy Kaling explained that Legally Blonde 3 is set to follow Elle Woods in her 40s, a suitable age for the role due to her focus on social rights and her potential to win the presidential elections. However, the exact plot of the movie has not been confirmed, despite her age being 48.
Reese Witherspoon is set to star in a spin-off TV series based on the Legally Blonde movies, developed by Amazon MGM Studios. The project, starring Josh Swartz and Stephanie Savage, is set to be produced by the same team responsible for Gossip Girl, The O.C., and Marvel's Runaways, ensuring fans can expect high-quality content.
