And then some people who maybe didn’t appreciate it at the time have come around, and now I’m just happy."
She expressed a keen interest in returning to the Jennifer's Body universe, expressing her desire for a sequel.
However, she emphasized the need to find partners who share her enthusiasm for the project.
