Even though there are talks about a potential sequel to John Tucker Must Die that would involve the original cast, two of the actors from the romantic comedy have not been contacted about the movie.

Brittany Snow, who starred as new girl Kate in the 2006 film, appeared on Thursday’s (July 4) episode of her John Tucker co-star Penn Badgley‘s Podcrushed podcast, where they discussed the potential for their involvement if the sequel gets greenlit, per The Hollywood Reporter.

“I don’t know if you’ve had a call, but I’ve gotten no call,” Snow told Badgley, who echoed that he’s “had no call” either.

“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 actually can’t say with certainty,” he quipped.

Badgley, who played John Tucker’s (Jesse Metcalfe brother Scott, acknowledged that he’s “got the smallest role in the movie,” and doesn’t know “if [he] would belong in it anyway.”

Snow replied, “I’m not doing it if you’re not doing it.”

Badgley added, “Never have I even thought of that as a potential thing, but I guess if there was a script, I would read it.”

Metcalfe, Sophia Bush, and Arielle Kebbel had broached the news in March at Epic Cons Chicago, where Metcalfe said he had “been hearing rumblings about this script circulating Hollywood” and said that although he had not read it yet, noted that “apparently it’s amazing.” As noted by THR, Metcalfe has since read the script, telling E! News that the script “hits on a lot of similar themes, but through the lens of the current landscape.”

At Epic Cons Chicago, Kebbel deemed the rumor “true,” explaining that she “started producing a few years ago.”

“There is a script. We are very proud of it. It does involve all of the OG cast,” she said at the time.

Bush also seemed optimistic about her involvement, saying she’s “ready to go” if the film comes to fruition.

Snow told Badgley on his podcast that she’s been “talking to Arielle about this for years because she was trying ti get it off the ground, but [she] didn’t know what happened.”

“And it kind of just, I was like, ‘Go forth,’ you know. ‘Go forth with that,’” she recalled. “But 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?”

Nonetheless, she said she “will read whatever” comes her way, highlighting that “they’ve worked really hard.”
