While we still have a while to go until we get to see Elle Woods again, actress Reese Witherspoon and film producer Marc Platt can’t wait to see the character in her 40s. 

“I want to discover what age means to that character,” Witherspoon told The Hollywood Reporter. “Aging, contemporary ideas, how things have evolved — or not evolved.”

Legally Blonde celebrated its 15-year anniversary back in 2016. The film that grossed $142 million catapulted the actress onto the A-list. So bringing back the iconic character isn’t without trepidation, “it was so beloved and because you don’t want to mess it up or do anything halfway,” added the actress. 

The revival of the film and the celebrated franchise is still in the development stage.
