“I would love that,” Kendrick said, adding that she believes Wilson is “the steam engine of everything” and that as long as Wilson keeps the idea alive, she’ll remain hopeful.

The first ‘Pitch Perfect’ film premiered in 2012, followed by two successful sequels. Recently, Wilson and fellow ‘Pitch Perfect’ star Anna Camp teased fans with social media posts hinting at the possibility of a fourth film, fuelling further excitement among fans.
Kendrick’s latest film, ‘Woman of the Hour’, brings her back together with some familiar faces from ‘Pitch Perfect’, including Chrissie Fit and Kelley Jakle. The thriller is based on the real-life story of Cheryl Bradshaw, who unknowingly picked serial killer Rodney Alcala during her appearance on ‘The Dating Game’ in the late 1970s.

Looking ahead, Kendrick expressed her desire to continue directing, saying she found immense joy in bringing the ‘Woman of the Hour’ project to life. Fans of both her acting and directing are eager to see what comes next.
