Rachel McAdams’ reasoning for opting out of the commercial hints that she’s even more removed from the “Mean Girls” cast than we initially thought. As the actor revealed to Variety, she wasn’t pumped about appearing in an advertisement for Walmart in the first place. “A movie sounded awesome, but I’ve never done commercials, and it just didn’t feel like my bag,” McAdams reasoned. But things may have been different if she’d heard about it from her former castmates first.
“I didn’t know that everyone was doing it,” the “Game Night” star admitted. “I would, of course, always love to be part of a ‘Mean Girls’ reunion and hang with my plastics, but yeah, I found that out later.” Reading between the lines: If McAdams didn’t know everyone else was involved, she must not talk to them that often, right? However, the star has expressed interest in future “Mean Girls” projects.
“It would be fun to play Regina George later in her life and see where life took her,” McAdams shared during the 2020 Heroes of Health: COVID-19 Stream-a-thon (via People). Notably, this was after Lindsay Lohan’s appearance on “Lights Out with David Spade,” during which she also expressed interest in a sequel predominantly because it would offer the opportunity to reunite with everybody again.
