Jennifer Check, the popular cheerleader-turned-murderous demon played by Megan Fox in Diablo Cody’s Jennifer’s Body, is returning to the silver screen for a sequel to the cult classic. While production details are still unknown, Cody recently revealed the new film will explore a more “sympathetic” side of the titular character.
“Jennifer is a sympathetic character for me, before and after the transformation,” she explained while appearing on a recent episode of the Petticoat Revolution podcast, Deadline reported. “I mean, she is very isolated, she’s very lonely, she’s very insecure. Everybody remembers Jennifer when she’s like, ‘I am a god,’ or when she’s at her most radiant and at her most powerful. But people forget about these moments in the movie where she’s like a shell of herself, she’s just exsanguinated almost. And to me, Megan played both of those sides of Jennifer so well.”
Cody added that the new installment will take a more intimate look at Jennifer and what she endured in the first film.
“And one fun thing—I can’t talk about it too much—but you know we’re doing a sequel to this movie, like imminently, and I felt like in the new movie, I was able to explore even more about why Jennifer is sympathetic and what she’s been through,” she explained. “And there is absolutely, to me, a loneliness and a poignancy to that character that people don’t always recognize.”
View this post on InstagramDeadline confirmed Cody was developing a sequel to Jennifer’s Body for 20th Century Studios last October. At the time, Karyn Kusama, who directed the first film, said she was “very excited to hear what comes” from the sequel.
“I know some of the bones of it, so I’m not going to give anything away, but it sounds fun and crazy like the first film,” Kusama told the outlet at the time. “And I have no doubt that Diablo will do something absolutely incredible with it.”
Both Fox and Amanda Seyfried, who starred in the film as Check’s bookish best friend-turned-lone survivor Anita “Needy” Lesnicki, have expressed interest in reprising their roles in the second installment.
