After two decades of wait and two years after being confirmed, Reese Witherspoon is finally coming back to the big screen to reprise her role as the iconic Elle Woods in ‘Legally Blonde 3’.
The story of ‘Legally Blonde’ started when Elle Woods decided to enrol in Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend. Along the way, she realised he wasn’t the one for her, alongside learning a lot of other life lessons, all while making friends with Paulette (Jennifer Coolidge) and falling in love with Emmerre Richmond (Luke Wilson).
Following her success in tackling the prejudice that portrayed her as a stereotypical West coast sorority girl, Woods will now face another challenge as a parent in the movie’s third instalment. MGM executive Pamela Abdy revealed that its story, penned by Mindy Kaling (The Office, The Mindy Project) and Dan Goor (Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), would tell of Elle Woods at 40 with a thriving career.
Aside from Witherspoon, Coolidge will also reprise her role in the film. However, Wilson, who played Emmett, Elle’s boyfriend and eventual husband, is not confirmed to return yet. Wilson previously told Us Magazine in December 2020:
“As for the Legally Blonde that we’re hearing about now — I don’t know anything more than the usual man on the street. And that’s really the truth. I’ve heard they’re writing it and trying to put it together, but they’re keeping it pretty firmly under wraps.”
