Kirsten Dunst Isn’t Interested in Making a “Bring It On” Sequel: ‘I Don’t Need to Put on a Cheerleading Outfit’

Kirsten Dunst has recently revealed that she has no interest in participating in a sequel to the popular movie “Bring It On.” The actress made this statement during a screening of her new film “Roofman” in New York City. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Dunst expressed her lack of enthusiasm for reprising her role as cheerleader Torrance Shipman.

Dunst’s comments come after she had previously mentioned being open to a potential sequel to “Bring It On,” but with the condition that it would not be embarrassing. However, during the recent interview, she firmly stated, “No. I’m like, leave good things where they are.” The actress also dismissed the idea of being involved in a sequel from a production standpoint, jokingly questioning what her role would be if not as a cheerleader.

“Bring It On,” released in 2000, follows the story of Torrance, a high school cheerleader who discovers that her squad’s routines have been stolen from a rival school. The film, directed by Peyton Reed, also stars Eliza Dushku and Jesse Bradford. Despite the success of the original movie, subsequent sequels did not feature the original cast members.

While Dunst’s stance on a “Bring It On” sequel may disappoint some fans, she is currently focused on promoting her new film “Roofman,” in which she stars alongside Channing Tatum. The movie, directed by Derek Cianfrance, premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival and tells the story of a man who turns to robbing fast-food restaurants.

In addition to her work in “Roofman,” Dunst shared her thoughts on potential sequel roles, mentioning a desire to be part of “Minecraft 2.” Despite her openness to sequels, the actress humorously remarked that her priority is to make a movie that doesn’t lose money. Dunst’s two sons reportedly enjoyed the first “Minecraft” movie, sparking her interest in being part of a sequel.

As a seasoned actress known for her role as Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man movies, Kirsten Dunst’s decision not to pursue a sequel to “Bring It On” reflects her selective approach to projects. Fans of the actress can look forward to her upcoming film “Roofman,” set to be released in theaters on October 10th.

While Dunst’s focus on avoiding sequels may come as a surprise to some, her dedication to choosing meaningful and engaging roles demonstrates her commitment to her craft. With a successful career spanning over 15 years, Kirsten Dunst continues to captivate audiences with her talent and versatility on the big screen.
