Rebel Wilson Says Studio Tried To Do A 'Pretty Nasty' Thing While Filming 'Pitch Perfect 2'

The tide changed when the movie became a bona fide box office smash.

Rebel Wilson has had to prove herself again and again ― even when she’s in a hit franchise.

The “JoJo Rabbit” actor opened up in her new memoir about a time when studios reportedly didn’t quite see a future with her in the “Pitch Perfect” movies.

“They were going to replace us all with younger actresses, led by Hailee Steinfeld, whose character was introduced in ‘Pitch 2,’” Wilson wrote of Universal Pictures in her new memoir, “Rebel Rising,” which was released this week.

“This seemed like a pretty nasty and unnecessary thing to say to us hardworking gals right at the end of filming ‘Pitch 2,’” she added, calling it “a kick in the face to us original girls.”

The tide changed when the movie became a bona fide box office smash and outperformed the first movie.
