A month later, Ramona Flowers starMary Elizabeth Winsteadand Knives Chau’s Ellen Wong sat for an interview on reprising their beloved characters and hoping for a sequel season. Talking to Screen Rant, the 39-year-old actress expressed her admiration and thrill for the cast and plot of the show.
However, she was concerned with the writers being able to come up with an equally engrossing story for the sequel season. While she would love to continue as Ramona Flowers, matching the standards set in Season 1 would be tough, as per the star. Winstead toldScreenRant,
“We would be so excited to continue to be a part of it in some way, but it is sort of like, “What could that story be?” That’s still a question mark, I think.”
Likewise, Ellen Wong also chimed in lauding BenDavid and Bryan Lee O’Malley’s ingenuity. Entrusting complete faith in the latter’s creativity, Wong added,
“And so much of this is their brains—BenDavid and Bryan, especially Bryan—that I almost want to just be like, ‘You tell me what to do, and I’ll do it. You tell me where Knives is going and I’ll go’ So, I agree, and I echo everything Mary is saying.”
Apart from that, both actresses were elated to have reunited on the sets ofScott Pilgrim Takes Offonce again and seemed eager to continue doing it in the future.
