Michael Cera Says He'd Love to Get the SCOTT PILGRIM Gang Back Together for a Sequel
Director Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was such an incredibly cool, fun, and awesomely made movie! While the movie works as a single, standalone film, I would love to see a sequel that takes us back into this wacky vibrant world and revisits these wonderfully interesting characters.
I’m not the only one that would want to see a sequel, though! the film’s star Michael Cera would love to see one as well! During a recent interview with CB, the actor was asked about it and he said;
"For me, that 'well' would just mean being around that group again. It was such a great group. Fortunately, we all do get together and it really was like a great band or something and we all loved being around each other and that happens, obviously, less and less, but when the movie was coming out and even a few years after that, we were all hanging out quite a lot.
"Bill Pope, who's the cinematographer, was doing brunches quite regularly with his wife Sharon. It really felt like an extended family. It's 10 years later, so obviously life, for everybody, is doing their own thing. I would love, if it meant getting everyone to hang out for a while again, I would love that. Hopefully, this being the 10th anniversary, it will give us some excuse to get together."
His co-star Alison Pill is certainly on board! She was recently asked about doing a possible sequel as well and she said:
“I don't know. Again, who knows now because everything's up in the air. If we have movie theaters to go back to, we'll see. But I know we were trying to get everybody together for the anniversary, because it would be fun to see everyone. That's a good group of people.”
It seems like the main reason to get together for a sequel would be just to see the gang again and have a chance to work with them as opposed to continuing Pilgrim's narrative journey. But hey, whatever gets them together to make a sequel!
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who played Ramona Flowers in the movie, previously suggested what a potential sequel for the film could look like, saying:
"You know what, I think that would be so cool. I would be so curious to know what happened to these characters when they're in their mid-30s as opposed to the sort of 20 slacker thing. So I think it would be really interesting. We always talked about a sequel when we were doing it, but we always imagined it would be like, still like a year later. Where are they? But I think it's way more fascinating to know where they'd be 10 years later. I'm down for it.
I don’t know about you, but I’d watch that film! Maybe one day it’ll happen.
