In a surprising turn of events, the OG Mean Girls cast recently reunited for a series of Walmart ads that had fans buzzing with excitement. Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert, Daniel Franzese, and Rajiv Surendra all stepped back into their iconic roles from the 2004 comedy classic, bringing nostalgia and laughter to fans worldwide. However, one notable face was missing from the lineup – Rachel McAdams, who portrayed the fierce Regina George.
Fans were quick to notice McAdams’ absence from the ads and wondered why she didn’t join her fellow Plastics in the reunion. Finally, the 45-year-old actor has shed some light on the situation, revealing that she had been approached to participate in the campaign without any knowledge of her co-stars’ involvement.
In an interview with Variety, McAdams confessed, “I don’t know; I guess I wasn’t that excited about doing a commercial if I’m being totally honest. A movie sounded awesome, but I’ve never done commercials, and it just didn’t feel like my bag.” She also expressed her surprise upon learning that her co-stars were taking part in the project, saying, “I didn’t know that everyone was doing it. I would, of course, always love to be a part of a Mean Girls reunion and hang with my Plastics, but yeah, I found that out later.”
While it’s disappointing that McAdams didn’t join in on the fun, there is still hope for a potential Mean Girls sequel. The actor hasn’t ruled out the idea and has left fans eagerly waiting for her return as Regina George, possibly wearing pink on Wednesdays once again.
However, McAdams will also be absent from the upcoming Mean Girls musical movie adaptation, which was spearheaded by original cast member and comedian Tina Fey. In this new iteration, Reneé Rapp will take on the iconic role of Regina George, bringing her own flair to the character. Back in March, McAdams had hinted at a possible cameo in the movie musical, but unfortunately, things didn’t work out.
“Tina and I sort of dabbled with a few ideas, but it was tough to make it all work in the end,” McAdams explained. “I was really down for whatever she wanted to do. I think the direction it went in will be fantastic, and I cannot wait to see it.”
While fans may be disappointed that McAdams won’t be appearing in the Mean Girls musical movie adaptation, they can still look forward to the film hitting theaters in the UK on January 19, 2024. The anticipation is high as viewers eagerly await another dose of the iconic high school drama that has become a cult classic.
As we wait for a potential Mean Girls sequel or future collaborations between the original cast members, fans can take solace in knowing that their favorite characters are still alive and well in their hearts. The Walmart ads may have been a missed opportunity for McAdams, but her presence will forever be remembered as the queen bee, Regina George.
In conclusion, Rachel McAdams has spilled the tea on why she turned down the Mean Girls reunion Walmart ad. While she wasn’t initially aware that her fellow cast members were participating, she also expressed her lack of enthusiasm for doing a commercial. However, she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of a Mean Girls sequel, leaving fans hopeful for a future reunion. As we eagerly await what’s to come, let’s cherish the memories of the original Mean Girls and continue to quote the iconic lines that have become part of pop culture history.
