Rachel McAdams joins Lindsay Lohan in calling for Mean Girls sequel

Rumours of a sequel to the hit 2004 comedy are in the air after two of the film’s stars have voiced enthusiasm for a return

Rachel McAdams has claimed that she would love to return to the role of Regina George from the hit 2004 film Mean Girls.

Appearing on Canada’s Heroes of Health: Covid-19 Stream-a-thon, the actor said: “It would be fun to play Regina George later in her life and see where life took her.”

And McAdams isn’t the only one: co-star Lindsay Lohan has also recently expressed an interest in doing a follow-up to the beloved teen comedy.

“I kind of wanted to come back with like a Mean Girls 2,” said Lohan on Lights Out with David Spade. “With the same cast, and work with Tina and the whole crew again and [director] Mark Waters.’

“That was really what I wanted, I was really excited to do that... That’s all in their hands really. That would definitely be an exciting thing.”

Although there has technically already been a sequel to Mean Girls - the TV movie Mean Girls 2, which came out in 2011 and did not feature the original stars – fans of the original have long been desperate for a full cinematic continuation of the story.

The original film was written by Tina Fey (30 Rock), and told a story of friendship, romance and barbed insults among the cliques of an Illinois high school.
