Luke Wilson wants a ‘Legally Blonde 3’.
The 48-year-old actor played Emmett Richmond, the love interest of Reese Witherspoon’s Elle Woods, in the 2001 original and the 2003 sequel ‘Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde’ and Luke would jump at the chance to make a third movie.
He told Entertainment Tonight: "I have not talked to Reese about it, but yeah I always kind of hear things here and there. Never anything official about them doing another ‘Legally Blonde’, but I’d love to do another one. I mean, just that character Reese played was so funny at the time and that has kind of become this iconic character now."
And Luke has some ideas on what Elle and Emmett’s lives would be like in 2020.
He said: "I would say they definitely have a few children and I just think that it’d be really funny if Reese had a little mini-me, a version of herself. I would definitely think that they’d have a couple of children."
Meanwhile, Luke revealed fans still want to discuss the movies when they meet him and many of the film’s original viewers have introduced their own kids to ‘Legally Blonde’.
He explained: "Somebody just told me that it was coming up on its 20th anniversary, which I couldn’t believe. I definitely now run into women that were kids when it came out and they tell me, ‘Now I’ve introduced my daughter to the movie.’ So that’s really cool and I’ve never had that happen before, where a movie’s kind of been introduced to another generation by the people who originally saw it."
Last year, Reese revealed she had been "working on" a third film but hadn’t yet started filming.
She said: "She’s a very beloved character. You just want her to go on a hero’s journey like she does in the first movie, and I’m having a great time working on it.
"[We have] a script, but we haven’t shot anything."
