There’s been a slight bump in the road for the Legally Blonde franchise, as it too grinds against the inevitable delays caused by the worldwide pandemic. The third film, Legally Blonde 3, was set to release in February of next year, but that release date has proved untenable and MGM has announced their intent to delay the film a whole year. Currently, the film is scheduled to hit theaters in May of 2022, when the pandemic, hopefully, will have faded.
Legally Blonde 3 will have Reese Witherspoon reprise one of her more famous roles as Elle Woods: a sorority girl who decides to become a lawyer and succeeds despite the stereotypes that peg her as not tough enough to follow through. While not much about the third film is known, it was written by Mindy Kaling and Dan Door, and will presumably continue to follow Woods. That said, the film has yet to announce any additional cast members, or even a director for the project, which might explain why the film has made such a drastic delay.
It’s not exactly surprising that there is interest in returning to Legally Blonde. The original film was a smash hit that earned quite a lot of praise, and more importantly, money, from audiences at the time. Though the sequel was not received nearly as favorably, it still pulled in a serious payday for the studios and actors involved. While the original film focused on Woods becoming a lawyer and how she accomplishes it, the sequel had her on the job, attempting to pass a bill that would ban makeup testing on animals. This means folks might be in for another story about Woods getting involved in some actual legal antics when the third installment rolls around.
Reese Witherspoon will be producing Legally Blonde 3 through her company Hello Sunshine. Producer Marc Platt will also be returning, having been producer on the first two films as well. Whether or not this latest installment lives up to the legacy of the first remains to be seen, but hopefully Elle Woods will have her time in the sun yet again when it finally hits the big screen.
Legally Blonde 3 will release in May of 2022.
