In a conversation with Variety, McAdams revealed her reasons for skipping the commercial, stating that she 'wasn’t that excited about doing a commercial' and 'didn’t know' that everyone from the original group of Plastics would be present. She expressed her love for the idea of a 'Mean Girls' reunion and hanging out with her fellow Plastics, but emphasized that a commercial didn't feel like the right fit for her.

McAdams' absence from the ad led to discussions about the possibility of another Mean Girls reunion, and whether she would consider returning to reprise her role as Regina George. Her comments revealed her genuine affection for her co-stars and the character of Regina, while also hinting at the potential for future collaborations with the original cast.

Is Another Mean Girls Reunion Possible?

McAdams' decision to skip the commercial sparked speculation about the possibility of another 'Mean Girls' reunion, and whether she would be open to returning for such an event. Her comments in the Variety interview provided insight into her feelings about the commercial and her ongoing interest in reuniting with her co-stars and reprising her role as Regina George.

While McAdams expressed that a movie would be an ideal platform for a 'Mean Girls' reunion, she also acknowledged that the original Plastics won't be reuniting on the big screen anytime soon. However, her statement hinted at the potential for future collaborations with the original cast if the right opportunity arose.

The upcoming musical remake of Mean Girls, set for release on January 12, 2024, will feature Tim Meadows and Tina Fey reprising their roles from the 2004 movie. Despite the absence of Lohan, Chabert, Seyfried, and McAdams in the remake, McAdams' comments have sparked hope for the possibility of a future reunion with the original cast.

The Future of the Original Plastics

Given the anticipation surrounding the 2024 musical remake of Mean Girls, there is significant interest in the potential for a future reunion of the original Plastics. McAdams' comments have fueled speculation about the likelihood of a sequel or a musical sequel that could bring together the original cast, providing them with an opportunity to showcase their talents in a new production.

The success of the upcoming remake could pave the way for the return of Lohan, Seyfried, Chabert, and McAdams in a musical sequel, allowing them to explore new dimensions of their characters and potentially showcase their vocal abilities. McAdams' expressed interest in acting alongside her fellow Plastics in the future has raised hopes for a full cast reunion at some point down the line.

While the details of any potential future projects remain uncertain, McAdams' genuine affection for her co-stars and her openness to the idea of reuniting with the original cast suggest that a full Mean Girls cast reunion may be a possibility in the future.
