Gabrielle Union has aired her views on the possibility of a Bring It On sequel and the likelihood of it coming to fruition. The actress addressed this during the season 3 premiere of Truth Be Told, saying there are various meanings to a project “being in development” when it comes to Hollywood. Her ‘ 90s cult classic represents a good illustration of the confusing timeline.
According to her, the Bring It On sequel has been in the works for a long time. However, those not familiar with Hollywood terminology may not understand it could take anything from five minutes to fifty years. Gabrielle explained:
“We’ve been developing a sequel forever.”
The popular cheerleading movie, which also starred Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku, and Jesse Bradford, led to five direct-to-video sequels and a sixth Halloween-themed TV episode with new cast members. While many are excited about the TV episodes, die-hard fans of the original film are looking forward to a Bring It On sequel.
Bring It On Remains Gabrielle Union’s Biggest Movie Project Decades Later
Gabrielle Union recently received a supporting mention for The Inspection at the 32nd Gotham Awards in November, and this is one of her many accomplishments since breaking into the spotlights.
Since starring in the ’90s hit, the star has appeared in other major projects like Bad Boyz and City of Angels. She also explored her writing prowess, penning two autobiographies that went on to become bestsellers. Similarly, she authored two children’s books, gaining inspiration from her children. A native of Omaha, Gabrielle married former NBA star Dwyane Wade in August 2014 and has one daughter, 4-year-old Kaavia James. She is also a devoted stepmom to Dwyane’s three children from previous relationships.
Thankfully, her family has been on-hand to support her at every turn. Gabrielle attended her late movie premiere in the company of her husband and daughter. Other show regulars, including Octavia Spencer, Mychala Faith Lee, and Mekhi Phifer also graced the event. The Apple TV+ investigative drama is based on Kathleen Barber’s novel Are You Sleeping? and the third season of the show debuted on January 20.
