And yesterday, Rachel McAdams—none other than iconic Mean Girl Regina George herself—gave her own green light to involvement in a _Mean Girls_ project, [twelve years after](http://time.com/3558771/mean-girls-reunited-photo-shoot-ew-anniversary-issue/?iid=sr-link5) the original debuted. “_Mean Girls_. Musical. Would you ever?” [asked _E! News_](http://www.eonline.com/news/803329/yes-rachel-mcadams-is-up-for-a-mean-girls-reunion-and-musical) during an interview with the actor, probably referring to the [in-progress theater production](http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6980922/mean-girls-musical-tina-fey-wwhl-video) that Tina Fey is currently working on. (It’s a stage adaptation of the original.) “Sure,” McAdams capitulated. “I mean, yeah! I loved doing that movie. I loved Tina Fey, I loved the girls.” The two also discussed what Regina would be up to by now (spoiler: she’d have babies at this point). “Mean babies,” suggested Malkin. “Babies who are plotting your demise—in the womb,” amended McAdams. Sounds like they already have a plot all figured out for a separate sequel featuring grown-up girls. And now at least two of the original four in the clique have vocalized interest in a follow-up. Ball’s in your court Fey.
