Universal Considering "Bridesmaids" Sequel Without Kristen Wiig | The Hollywood Reporter
Kristen Wiig is reportedly refusing to do a sequel to the comedy, instead focusing on other projects such as The Comedian, Clown Girl and another project with Bridesmaids co-writer Annie Mumolo. Universal is now looking at moving forward on a sequel without Wiig, with the studio reportedly focused on securing breakout Melissa McCarthy for a second installment.

“…the film’s greatest achievement may be Wiig’s character Annie, which she created with co-writer Annie Mumolo. Not content to merely put a womanly spin on the typical Apatovian schlub, Wiig and Mumolo have crafted a prickly, vulnerable anti-heroine of deceptively complex layers.”
Check the very extensive For Your Consideration website that Universal has put together for Bridesmaids! You can download the script and listen to excerpts from the film’s score, as well as view images and videos from the film and, if you’re an important person, attend one of the dozens of screenings that Universal has organised.
I am so pleased that Universal has had the sense to push this film and I really hope that their efforts yield a screenplay nomination, at the very least, if not also nominations for Wiig and McCarthy’s performances.
