According to Game N Guide, rumors are spreading regarding the inclusion of "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens in "Pitch Perfect 3." Despite of the reports about Hudgens' possible appearance in the next installment, there has been no confirmation coming from the actress or from the producers of the movie.
Another interesting rumor cited by the same report is the involvement of the "Glee" star Lea Michelle. The report also revealed that if ever the two would be part of the "Pitch Perfect 3" cast, it is still not known whether they would be part of the Barden Bellas or in another group.
On the other note, "Pitch Perfect 3's" delayed release might be because of the rumors about one of its lead stars who is said to be thinking of not reprising her role. The report on FX News Call claims that Anna Kendrick prefers to return to Broadway rather than doing "Pitch Perfect 3."
Although this is still unconfirmed, sources say that the creators of the movie is pursuing on signing Kendrick for the third part of the franchise, as her absence will have a deep effect on the film. Reports say that Kendrick had a good stint in the Broadway before landing roles on various films, including the "Twilight" film series and the film that boost her career, "Pitch Perfect."
Other than that, speculations are spreading that the possible inclusion of Hudgens and Michelle could be an indication that these stars might replace Kendrick in "Pitch Perfect 3."
