'Pitch Perfect 3' Cast Update: Release Date Set as Anna Kendrick Returns

With Anna Kendrick returning to the set, "Pitch Perfect 3" is all set to go. According to a report from hollywoodlife.com, the studio has even set a release date for the very popular film about the Barden Bellas.

In line with the news, Kendrick reportedly said, "I feel lucky to be in close proximity for so long to women who are so different from one another. After filming, you homogenize everybody as this great group of girls; when you're back you get to experience everyone as an individual again, and that's really nice."

The movie's release date set is set for July 21, 2017, according to a post from the film's official Twitter account. The tweet read, "The aca-gods have spoken. #PitchPerfect3 is coming July 21, 2017!" This message included pictures of stars Kendrick and Rebel Wilson.

Kendrick confirmed the return, with an Instagram post reading "Happening#3," with the star holding up her three middle fingers and winking at the selfie, as reported in mtv.com.

According to an exclusive report from the Hollywood Reporter, the screenwriter for the first two films, Kay Cannon, is now in negotiations for the third installment. Another matter for discussion is the return of Elizabeth Banks to direct the new film.

"Pitch Perfect 2" raked in $259.7 million worldwide to date while the first film earned $115.4 million. Unlike Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow has not confirmed her return as well as Hailee Steinfeld.

In the film, Kendrick plays Beca, one of the leaders of the Bellas. According to a report from cnn.com, Kendrick's other films set to be shown in the near future includes "The Accountant" opposite Ben Affleck, "Mr. Right" opposite Sam Rockwell and the Fox Searchlight-produced film "Table 19."
