'Pitch Perfect 3' will feature the return of Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy. The actress and comedian recently showed off her new bright orange hair following her Los Angeles birthday bash. Co-star Hailee Steinfeld is also set to return as Emily Junk as she juggled acting with her music career.
According to E!, Rebel Wilson was seen sporting bright orange hair following her birthday party in Los Angeles on March 2. Fellow 'Pitch Perfect' co-stars Hailee Steinfeld, Chrissie Fit Shelley Regner, Ester Dean and Alexis Knapp joined Wilson as she was celebrating her 36th birthday.
Wilson may not have been so candid about her age before. She is known to have held the truth about her age, upbringing and even her birth name early in her career.
She admitted in a previous interview, "An actress has a playing age and can play within that, so why does it matter what her actual age is? I don't get that... My movie was No. 1 and [the Australian press] tried to find anything they could that was bad on me. The most they could find out is that I stopped saying my age in press articles. It's a business thing because you don't want to be like, 'Oh, I'm 29, about to be 30 coming to America, great.' That's not a positive thing to do when you're an actress in Hollywood."
Meanwhile, co-star Hailee Steinfeld is about to take on a rather busy schedule. According to Parade, she currently has three new films lined up in the next few years including 'Pitch Perfect 3'. The 19-year old actress, model and singer first appeared on 'Pitch Perfect 2' as Emily Junk, a moody college freshman whose mother was also a former member of the Barden Bellas.
Steinfeld's character was introduced as an aspiring songwriter and DJ who joins the Barden Bellas in hopes of following in her mother's footsteps. Emily was initially rejected by Wilson's Fat Amy but eventually gained entrance into the group after telling them that she was Katherine's daughter as well as other means of persuasion.
According to another article by Music News, Steinfeld revealed that she had to sing live on the first day of shooting for 'Pitch Perfect 2' since she had difficulty lip-syncing her pre-recorded track. She said, "So the first time you hear me singing you will be hearing me sing live. Which is terrifying!... And we were like well into shooting so I knew everybody, it wasn't like I had just met them and now I'm singing in front of them. They're really good singers."
Steinfeld signed a recording deal with Republic Records in 2015 and released her debut single 'Love Myself' thereafter. It went on to become a certified platinum hit.
'Pitch Perfect 3' is an upcoming musical comedy film scheduled to be released on August 4, 2017. Elizabeth Banks is set to return to helm the film with a screenplay penned by Kay Cannon.
