Following news of the third installment of The Princess Diaries, fans of the film have been asking if Chris Pine will be reprising his role of Nicholas Devereaux.
Pine appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Tuesday Night and spoke about the movie. He starred alongside Anne Hathaway in the sequel The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement in 2004 where their two characters fell in love, and although they did not get married, stayed together in the end.
On Fallon, Pine said, “It’s been 20 years. It’s been a long time. Can’t believe it’s been that long. But I have more people probably come up to me about that than anything I’ve ever done. And I’m very happy. It was an incredible experience,” However he made it clear that he has not been contacted for the new movie.
That same day, while on Today with Hoda & Jenna, Pine briefly commented on the third film. He stated, “I don’t know anything.”
He did seem like he was open to being a part of it saying, “Call Disney. Call Bob Iger. The answer is I gotta see. I don’t know anything about it. I think it’s fantastic.”
Variety broke this news last week and Anne Hathaway made a public Instagram post confirming the new development. This comes just as fans celebrated the 20th anniversary of the sequel.
Adele Lim, known for Joy Ride and Crazy Rich Asians, is set to direct the film.
