It turns out that the leaked footage features none other than Lindsay Lohan reprising her role as Cady Heron in the new installment.
The leaked scene depicts an academic decathlon involving the new main character portrayed by Angourie Rice. Among the students participating, Lindsay Lohan can be seen serving as the moderator of the contest.
Although she’s not reenacting her previous role, her brief appearance is filled with nostalgic elements as she delivers dialogues that resonate with the original movie, providing a gratifying callback to a memorable scene.
While Lindsay’s appearance is short-lived, it is expected to bring joy to long-time ‘Mean Girls’ fans. As of now, there’s no information about the potential return of the other original cast members.
For those unfamiliar, Lindsay previously portrayed Cady Heron in the original film, depicting the character’s experiences after getting involved with the Plastics at her new high school, led by the notorious Regina George.
This cameo follows Lindsay Lohan’s reunion with Tina Fey, the original cast member who not only wrote the script for the new movie but also the preceding musical. Fey will also reprise her role as Ms. Norbury in the upcoming film.
Lindsay has consistently expressed her eagerness to return to “Mean Girls,” even joining other cast members like Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert for a ‘Mean Girls’-themed Walmart commercial last year.
If you’re seeking a hefty dose of nostalgia, make your way to the theaters this Friday, as that’s when “Mean Girls” will be officially released in the US!
In fact, you can catch it on Thursday, so satisfy your ‘Mean Girls’ cravings and enjoy!
