In an interview with E! News, when asked to "Blink twice if [you're] gonna direct Pitch Perfect 4."

"Believe me, they have seen me. I mean, you know, that first movie we were doing dollar shots in whatever local dive bar so there's no way that they would take any direction from me and I love that."
Anna Kendrick has previously sparked excitement over a possible get-together, gushing in an interview with People regarding a potential fourth installment: "Oh, my God, I would love that."
