“I’m still hoping that Legally Blonde 3 is gonna come together in the right way,” Reese shared with USA Today. “It’s just like Top Gun: They waited a long time to make another version of that movie, and I loved the nostalgia piece they incorporated in it.”

The new Top Gun: Maverick just came out in theater back in May, 36 years after the first film was released in 1986.

“So definitely that gave us a lot of inspiration about what we would want to do with Elle Woods and make sure that we had all those same touchstones that mattered to people [back] then,” Reese continued. “I feel like these characters are my friends, so I safeguard them. I would never make the subpar, mediocre version of their story.”

The first Legally Blonde was released in 2001 and the sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, was released two years later.

In 2020, it was confirmed that a Legally Blonde 3 was in officially the works and that Mindy Kaling was co-writing the script. At the time, the movie was scheduled to be released in May 2022. As of right now, no new release date has been announced.
