The Mean Girls movie musical moves forward at Paramount after finding its main cast members. The original 2004 movie starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams has endured over the last nearly two decades to remain a popular movie. The success of Mean Girls more recently brought a Broadway adaptation of the movie to stages. However, there has long been an interest in making another Mean Girls movie in some form.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While the hopes of another Mean Girls movie persist, Paramount is continuing to move forward with its Mean Girls musical movie. As shared by Deadline, the studio has now cast the four leads for the musical reboot. The Mean Girls musical cast is headlined by Angourie Rice taking on the role of Cady Heron after playing Betty Brant in the MCU's Spider-Man trilogy.
The news that Angourie Rice, Reneé Rapp, Auli'i Cravalho, and Jaquel Spivey have landed key roles in the Mean Girls movie musical represents the first bits of casting. This means that performers are still needed for Karen Smith, Gretchen Wieners, Aaron Samuels, and other prominent characters. Rapp and Spivey have plenty of experience with musicals thanks to their pasts on Broadway, while Auli'i Cravalho's breakout role in Moana required plenty of singing.
Why A Mean Girls Musical Movie Is Happening, Not Mean Girls 2 There might be some surprise that Paramount is prioritizing making a Mean Girls musical movie instead of Mean Girls 2 with Lindsay Lohan and other original stars. Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Gretchen actress Lacey Chabert have all said they want to return for a sequel, while Karen actress Amanda Seyfried has not been as willing.
