Rebel Wilson wants her Pitch Perfect character to get married in new movie
Rebel Wilson is hoping her Pitch Perfect character Fat Amy will get married in the next movie.
The actress played Amy in the original film and two sequels and she's hoping a fourth movie will begin filming next year and she's revealed her big hope for the project is for her character to find love and walk down the aisle.
When asked about what's next for Fat Amy, Rebel told Variety: "I think there should be a wedding."
Rebel also suggested that one of the castmembers could move into the director's chair for the fourth film. She explained: "There's a lot of us who are directors now.
"There are many candidates – Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Kay Cannon, who is the original writer and Elizabeth Banks, so we'll see. I'm about to direct another movie, so that keeps me busy until early next year. Hopefully, it'll [Pitch Perfect 4] go into production next year.'
Rebel opened up about her hopes for the new film while she was promoting her latest project Bride Hard, which reteamed her with her Pitch Perfect co-star Anna Camp - and Rebel admitted their real life friendship helped them onscreen.
She said: "We play a slightly different dynamic in this movie. In Pitch Perfect, she's very uptight, and I'm more the –what we call in comedy– the wavy line.
"In this one [Bride Hard], because I'm an operative, I'm more the straight line, and she's the wavy line, playing kind of a ditzy bride. It's good to switch of our dynamics.
"You can tell in the movie that we're such good friends. There's just good camaraderie. We shot this during the writer's strike, so some of the scenes weren't quite written. But because we were besties, we could play that and improvise that quite well."
Rebel previously admitted she went into "beast mode" in preparation for Bride Hard by embarking on an intense fitness plan.
She told People: "I often put my body on the line for physical comedy." The actress pushed herself to her physical limits in preparation for the new movie.
However, Rebel actually enjoyed the challenge of getting herself in tip-top shape for Bride Hard.
She said: "I was pretty strong during this movie. I trained for a full five weeks and did conditioning for it, and then I had to be really kind of in beast mode, but I really enjoyed it, getting paid to almost be fit, which is really good."
Rebel uses curling irons like nunchucks in the new movie, and she admitted taking inspiration from movie icon Jackie Chan.
She told the publication: "When I lived in South Africa, basically to pass the time I would watch Jackie Chan videos and his comic timing, and I just loved all the movies. Even if they weren't subtitled and I couldn't even understand the dialogue, I just loved all his comedy-action scenes.
"They were so good. So I guess that's why I originally picked up nunchucks, to try to be a bit like Jackie Chan."

Anna Camp defends 18-year age gap with girlfriend
Anna Camp, 42, defended her relationship with girlfriend Jade Whipkey, 24, following backlash to their 18-year age difference. 'I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them,' the actress wrote in the comments of an Instagram post celebrating their red carpet debut last week. 'We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything,' Camp continued. 'Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm wishing everyone well. Especially this Pride month.' The star's response came after several online users expressed their disapproval over her romance with Whipkey. 'Just cuz they are gay doesn't excuse the weird ahh age gap [sic],' one critic commented on the same Instagram post. 'I'm in my mid 30s and I can't imagine having the necessary common ground to start a relationship with a 20 year old. What could they possibly have in common?' another wrote. A third person claimed, 'Regardless of celebrity or gender: if a 42 year old is with a 24 year old, it's about power or control, even on a subconscious level.' Camp and Whipkey made their red carpet debut last Wednesday at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Bride Hard' at the DGA Theatre Complex. They smiled happily and wrapped their arms around each other while posing for photos at the event. The actress and the on-set stylist confirmed their romance with a photo shared on Instagram Stories in May. 'Her smile is a poem, her eyes are roses, her laugh is music for dancing,' Whipkey captioned the snap of Camp at an outdoor restaurant. Days later, the duo was seen passionately kissing while out in LA. Camp was previously linked to drummer Michael Johnson following her divorce from Skylar Astin. She and her Pitch Perfect co-star were married for three years from 2016 to 2019.

Anna Camp defends age-gap romance
Anna Camp has defended her age-gap romance after going public with new girlfriend Jade Whipkey. The Pitch Perfect star, 42, unveiled her new relationship with Jade, who is 18 years her junior, when they walked the red carpet together at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie Bride Hard last Wednesday (18.06.25) and now Anna has hit back at criticism by insisting Jade is "far more mature" than any of the men her age she's previously dated. In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "Thought I'd jump on here ... and just sayI've dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them. "We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything." She added of the online trolls: "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm wishing everyone well. Especially this Pride month." The couple's red carpet debut came after Anna previously shared one of Jade's posts on her Instagram page which included a sweet tribute to the actress. Alongside a picture of Anna, Jade wrote: "Her smile is a poem, her eyes are roses, her laugh is music for dancing." The pair previously answered questions about their dating history in a TikTok question-and-answer video posted back in February. In the clip, Anna opened up about her worst date, saying: "I left a date once because a guy was like 45 minutes late and I stayed and waited. "Then he said that I was prettier in a movie than I was in person, because I'm an actor, and I was like: 'Okay, bye'." Anna then asked Jade: "What about you, babe?" and she replied: "I think it was the only date I ever went on with a boy. And he kept calling me 'f*****' the whole time." When asked what they "expect" during a date with a man, Anna replied: "I don't expect anything. Not anymore because I'm dating a woman, and it's great." The actress was previously married Scrubs star Michael Mosley between 2010 and 2013 and she went on to wed her Pitch Perfect co-star Skylar Astin, 37, in 2016. The marriage broke down and they split in early 2019.
