Jonathan Bennett recently spilled some hot tea about his absence from the much-hyped Mean Girls reunion commercials for Walmart. You know, those ads that brought back Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, and Lacey Chabert reprising their iconic roles as Cady Heron, Karen Smith, and Gretchen Wieners? Yeah, those.
But hold up, eagle-eyed fans noticed one key player missing from this glorious reunion: Aaron Samuels himself, played by none other than Jonathan. And boy, did the speculation start swirling.
Thankfully, Jonathan decided to clear the air and let everyone in on why he couldn’t make it to the Walmart ad party. Talking to E! News, he spilled the beans, saying, “I was filming so I couldn’t do it but it was so fun to see everyone reunite.” Fair play, Jonathan, sometimes work calls, even when the Mean Girls squad is getting together for a nostalgia-filled reunion.
But wait, here’s where it gets even juicier. Jonathan didn’t just leave it at the explanation; he dropped a little gem that’s sure to send Mean Girls aficionados into a frenzy. Brace yourselves, folks, because he casually hinted at the possibility of a sequel! Yep, you heard that right. According to him, the consensus among the cast is a resounding “yes” to the idea of a sequel:
“Everyone wants to know if we’d do a sequel and I think the mass consensus to my knowledge of our cast is of course we would.”
I mean, come on! Who wouldn’t want to see what Aaron Samuels and the gang are up to these days? It’s like he’s dangled this carrot of hope right in front of us, teasing the possibility of revisiting North Shore High and all the shenanigans that come with it.
And let’s be real, the mere thought of a Mean Girls sequel has been lingering in the air for ages. Fans have been crossing their fingers, hoping for some sort of confirmation, and here comes Jonathan, stoking the fires of speculation once again.
The absence of Aaron Samuels in the Walmart ads might have had fans scratching their heads, but with Jonathan’s reassurance that the gang is down for a sequel, it’s like a beacon of hope for the Mean Girls fandom. So, while we missed Aaron Samuels in the reunion ads, this tidbit about the cast’s enthusiasm for a sequel is the ultimate silver lining. It’s got us all buzzing with excitement, imagining what could be in store for our favorite Plastics and their entourage in a potential Mean Girls 2.
