Arielle Kebbel and Jesse Metcalfe hint at potential John Tucker Must Die sequel 

During a recent panel at a Chicago fan expo, Metcalfe revealed that he has heard about the script and that it’s reportedly amazing, though he hasn’t read it yet. In a Tik-Tok Video Metcalfe said, "I've heard rumors of this script -- there's a script, apparently, it's amazing." He added, "definitely love to be a part of it."

Metcalfe shared that plans are in place to reunite the cast for the sequel. Kebbel added that she has read the script and confirmed it "does involve all of the OG cast." She hinted that Metcalfe’s character "may or may not get a chance to change," which could be very exciting.

Metcalfe jokingly asked if he would get to wear a thong again, referencing a memorable scene from the first movie where his character made thongs seem cool for guys.

Kebbel playfully suggested "We wanted to talk to you about that, we were thinking you'd actually, like, make your own brand, endorse it. It'd be a whole thing." Metcalfe humorously responded that he can’t wait to show off his “dad bod” on the big screen.

Fans are thrilled about the news, with many expressing their excitement in the comments of the video announcement.
