‘Pitch Perfect 3’ Release Date News, Update: Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus to cameo; Vanessa Hudgens or Lea Michele to replace Anna Kendrick?

Contrary to talk going around regarding Anna Kendrick as well as Rebel Wilson not returning for the third iteration of "Pitch Perfect," a report confirmed that both will be returning to the film series. Kendrick will reclaim her role as Beca Mitchell while Wilson will once more play Fat Amy. Vanessa Hudgens and Lea Michele will be lending their voices to the acapella singing group, The Barden Bellas. Stars Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber are confirmed to be on the cast member list though an official announcement is yet to be made

They will be joined by other cast members Hailee Steinfeld as Emily and Elizabeth Banks as Gail Abernathy-McKadden. Brittany Snow as Chloe Beale, Alexis Knapp as Stacie Conrad, and Anna Camp as Aubrey Posen will also be back to reprise their roles in what is expected to be even bigger than "Pitch Perfect 2."

The rest of the cast from the first two 'Pitch Perfect" films are still to be confirmed. This includes Adam DeVine who plays Wilson's boyfriend and Skyla Astin who portrays Jesse Swanson, Beca's (Kendrick) romantic interest.

Kay Cannon, Kendrick, and Wilson will take care of the writing. Banks will be staying on as one of the producers, as are her husband Max Handelman, and Paul Brooks. Trish Sie will be taking over for Banks as director of the upcoming "Pitch Perfect 3." Sara Scott who is Vice President for Production will oversee the project for Universal.

Although Universal has not volunteered much detail as to the plot of "Pitch Perfect 3," it did reveal a significant clue: "Get ready to have a Merry Pitchmas." The film is intended for release right smack during the end-of-the-year holidays in 2017, Dec. 22 to be exact.

Filming is reported to commence sometime mid-January 2017. "Pitch Perfect 3" will be set in Georgia. Whereas the second film more than doubled the original film's gross earnings of $133 million, this next helping, "Pitch Perfect 3," is aiming for more than that.
