But after a long delay, MGM has announced that the film will be released in May 2022! And Deadline also reported that Jamie Suk will direct the film. However, the film has since been delayed with no new release date. Originally, Legally Blonde 3 was supposed to be one of the most important films of 2022, as MGM announced that the film should be released in May of this year. While talking about his new Uber Eats ad on TODAY, Coolidge gave fans an update on when they can watch „Legally Blonde 3” in theaters. The closer we got to that date, the less it seemed like the film was going to be released as planned, as no trailers or photos were released. Then, in an interview with Time on March 31, Mindy Kaling — the film`s co-writer alongside „Brooklyn Nine-Nine” co-creator Dan Goor — confirmed that the film had been postponed indefinitely. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film was originally scheduled to hit theaters on February 14, 2020, but was delayed. While Legally Blonde 3 was originally scheduled to premiere in May 2022, the film has since been postponed indefinitely with no new release date. However, the film has now been postponed indefinitely, so we don`t know when we`ll see Elle Woods back in action. When it will be possible for the cast and crew to begin filming, Kaling said it`s unclear due to the coronavirus pandemic. On a mission to win him back and prove him wrong, she enrolled at Harvard Law School, where Warner went. („What, how hard is it?” says Elle in one of the film`s most iconic lines, when a shocked Warner asks her what she`s doing at the prestigious university.) The actress explained that she and Goor are doing their best to ensure that the third installment honors Elle, who turns 40 in the new film.

„Will she end up doing whatever she wanted?” Kaling asked about the development of Elle`s character. „How does this personality manifest itself in an adult woman? Has he become more cynical? Her brightness and cheerfulness really worked when she was 22, but how did life change her perspective on things? The 2022 release date was announced by MGM Studio in October 2020. Mindy Kaling, who is set to co-write the screenplay for the third film with „Brooklyn Nine-Nine” creator Dan Goor, also pointed to the fact that the team is eager to make sure they get it right, no matter how long it takes. She told Time in March that the script for „Legally Blonde 3” wasn`t finished yet, but that they were digging deep to make sure it was perfect. „What`s Elle Woods like at 42?” she asked. „Will she end up doing whatever she wanted? How does this personality manifest itself in an adult woman? Has he become more cynical? Her brightness and cheerfulness really worked when she was 22, but how did life change her perspective on things? Moviegoers first met the sister dressed in pink and chihuahua in 2001, when the original film Legally Blonde was released and became an instant hit. The comedy followed Elle when she was unceremoniously abandoned by her Warner Huntington III boyfriend (Matthew Davis) because she wasn`t serious enough. Fans were thrilled, especially when Witherspoon confirmed the news herself by sharing a video of herself floating on a pink bikini pool. The film was originally scheduled to hit theaters in May 2022; However, as the script is still in the works (as of April 2022), it looks like fans will have to wait a little longer. When Witherspoon announced in 2018 that a third installment was officially in the works, she revealed that „Legally Blonde 3” would premiere on February 14, 2020. According to Metro, in September 2019, the film was instead postponed to May 8, 2020.

Well, the release date came and went and nothing happened, but given that cinemas were closed at the time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the delay was completely understandable. MGM, the company behind „Legally Blonde 3,” later confirmed in October 2020 that the film would be released in May 2022. „So excited to be reunited with my friends,” Kaling shared on Twitter as she announced she would be part of the project. „Elle Woods is so iconic and proves that you can be girly and smart at the same time. Bend down and catch people! We officially know when the third film will be released in theaters. During a virtual casting reunion of Legally Blonde with Witherspoon, Jennifer Coolidge (Paulette Bonafonté), Selma Blair (Vivian Kensington), Jessica Cauffiel (Margot), Matthew Davis (Warner Huntington III), Ali Larter (Brooke Taylor Windham), Holland Taylor (Professor Stromwell), Alanna Ubach (Serena McGuire) and Luke Wilson (Emmett Richmond), a release date was confirmed. Legally Blonde 3 will be released in May 2022. She then teased details about the questions she and co-writer Dan Goor explore in the script, saying, „What`s Elle Woods like at 42? Will she end up doing everything she wanted? How does this personality manifest itself in an adult woman? Has he become more cynical? Her brightness and cheerfulness really worked when she was 22, but how did life change her perspective on things? Although „Legally Blonde 3” was originally scheduled to be released on Valentine`s Day in 2020, the film has since been postponed for two years — and some believe this is due to the coronavirus pandemic. This means that the release date is two years after the first announcement of the project.

IMDB had previously said that pre-production was scheduled to begin in May 2020, but with the addition of new writers and the coronavirus pandemic delaying almost all productions, that date was pushed back. After years of speculation and teasing, Deadline reported in May 2020 that Legally Blonde 3 had been given the green light. The outlet confirmed that Witherspoon will return as a blonde lawyer defending herself against Catcalls and won`t advocate for a sister sister to be wrongly accused of murdering her husband — after all: „Happy people don`t kill their husbands!” From what Kaling said about the film until it took so long for it to be released that the original stars could return, here`s everything we know about Legally Blonde 3 so far: In an interview with Access Hollywood, Mindy said, „I can`t wait to see what people think about it. as we wrote Elle Woods when she was 40. How Elle Woods is at 40 compared to 21 was really fun to imagine. One of the things that influenced Kaling`s thought process when writing the film`s script was the recent reboot of „Sex and the City” „And Just Like That,” which premiered on HBO Max in December.
