Kirsten Dunst confirmed she has no plans to reprise her role in a sequel to the cult cheerleading film Bring It On during the premiere of her new movie Roofman on September 8 in New York City. Addressing questions about revisiting the franchise, the 43-year-old actress stated clearly that she prefers to leave the original work untouched.
Actress Cites Desire to Preserve Original Enjoyment
When asked if she might return as an actress or take on a behind-the-scenes role such as producer for a Bring It On sequel, Dunst responded with a firm “No.” She elaborated that she prefers to let beloved projects remain as they are rather than revisiting them, joking about not knowing whether she would participate as a coach or in any other way.
“I’m like, leave good things where they are. I don’t need to put on a cheerleading outfit. I don’t even know what I would do—be a coach or something? Let’s leave it.”

Consistent Stance Against Reboot Over Time
This is not the first time Dunst has spoken out against returning to the Bring It On franchise. Last year, while promoting her film Civil War, she indicated she would have considered producing a sequel but ultimately expressed skepticism about the idea, questioning what direction a new installment could take.
“I didn’t even think about it then, but these days, I would have been a producer on Bring It On. But I wasn’t. People keep saying we should do another Bring It On. I’m like, ‘No. What would we do?’”

Different Perspectives Among Original Cast Members
While Dunst remains opposed to a sequel or reboot, her Bring It On co-star Gabrielle Union has shared contrasting opinions about continuing the franchise. This difference in viewpoints highlights varying attitudes among the original cast about revisiting the iconic teen comedy. As of now, no official plans for a new Bring It On installment have been announced.
Implications for the Future of the Franchise
Dunst’s firm rejection signals that any future Bring It On projects would likely proceed without her involvement, potentially influencing the direction and reception of a sequel. Her preference to preserve the original film underscores a broader trend of actors choosing to maintain the legacy of beloved works rather than revisiting them. Fans of the franchise may need to manage expectations regarding a reboot, while remaining attentive to updates from other cast members and producers.
