Penn Badgley and Brittany Snow Haven’t Been Told About a ‘John Tucker Must Die’ Sequel

Penn Badgley and Brittany Snow discussed the rumored John Tucker Must Die sequel during the Wednesday, July 3, episode of the actor’s “ Podcrushed ” podcast.

"Penn, I don't know if you've had a call, but I've gotten no call," Snow, 38, said, to which Badgley, 37, replied, "Yeah, I've had no call, no. 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 can't actually say with certainty."

The 2006 movie's stars Jesse Metcalfe , Sophia Bush and Arielle Kebbel revealed at Epic Cons Chicago in March that there was a script for the sequel — and it apparently features all of the original cast members.

In the romantic comedy, a trio of teenage girls — played by Bush, 41, Kebbel, 39, and Ashanti — plot to break the heart of school basketball star John Tucker (Metcalfe) after they learn he’s secretly been dating all three of them. They recruit a shy, unpopular girl (Snow) to publicly humiliate him and give him a taste of his own medicine.

Badgley played John Tucker’s brother, Scott.

"I've got the smallest role in the movie, I don't know if I would belong in it anyway," Badgley said of the sequel, to which Snow responded, "I'm not doing it if you're not doing it."

The You star continued, "Never have I even thought of that as a potential thing, but I guess if there was a script, I would read it."

Snow said Kebbel has been trying to get a sequel off the ground for years, so she would definitely be interested in reading a script.

"I didn't know what happened, and I was like, 'Go forth. Go forth with that [idea],’" the Pitch Perfect star recalled. "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? I will read whatever — they've worked really hard."

John Tucker Must Die became a fan-favorite film from the moment it hit theaters in summer of 2006. Metcalfe, 45, who went on to star in shows like Desperate Housewives and Dallas , said he still gets stopped by admirers of the rom-com.

“I didn’t think really much of the movie when I was shooting it, and the fact that it’s kind of become a little bit of a teen comedy cult classic is awesome,” he told Us Weekly in October 2020. “It’s been passed down, maybe from, like, older brothers and sisters to their younger siblings. I think it’s super cool. People still think it’s funny! It is funny. I’m flattered.”

At the Epic Cons Chicago in March, Metcalfe told the crowd , "I've heard rumors of this script — there's a script. Apparently it's amazing."

Kebbel admitted she’s had a hand in creating the sequel, which “may or may not [see John] get a chance to change."

Metcalfe added, "I'd definitely love to be a part of it," and said he "can't wait to read it."
