Pitch Perfect 2 may not hit theaters until next May but NBC’s Today show has an exclusive first look at the upcoming sequel that you can watch now!
Veteran Today show anchor, Natalie Morales recently visited the set of Pitch Perfect 2 and in a segment that aired on the morning show on Monday, Morales promises fans of the musical-comedy “more music and more fun.”
In the segment, Morales caught up with Rebel Wilson and Anna Kendrick (who will reprise their roles as Fat Amy and Beca) along with newcomer Hailee Steinfeld (Begin Again, True Grit). While the three kept tight lipped on details regarding the plot of Pitch Perfect 2, Morales had better luck when she spoke with fellow returning actress Elizabeth Banks.
Banks, who is set to reprise her role as a capella commentator Gail Abernathy-McKadden, divulged that Pitch Perfect 2 will find the Bellas facing off against a new main rival. “They’ve gotten too big for their britches — possibly literally and they’ve sort of forgotten about the music a little bit,” said Banks.
Banks, who is also directing the upcoming sequel admitted that there’s a bit of pressure that comes with taking on the gig — especially considering people loved Pitch Perfect so much. “I definitely feel a lot of responsibility to the fans, to my fellow actors and I’m shouldering it every day but it’s going great!” said Banks.
