Fans may also see the return of Warner Huntington III, played by Matthew Davis. Speaking to ET, the actor said, "I would love to see something where perhaps Warner is married to a politician, to a woman who’s running for office, and he’s sort of like a kept man."

We NEED to see this!

The Big Little Lies star informed us that they are currently making sure the storyline is just right, therefore haven't shot anything yet for the film.

Fans were over the moon back in June 2018 when the 43-year-old took to Twitter to announce that the legendary Elle Woods would bereturning for Legally Blonde 3. Confirming fans suspicions, the star simply wrote, 'It’s true... #LegallyBlonde3' [sic].

It's safe to say fans went WILD, with one replying, 'OMG OMG OMG OMGOMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM LIVING.... I AM JUST best confirmation of a sequel yet! #LegallyBlonde' [sic] and another writing, 'We are beyond ready for the return of Elle Woods' [sic].

The film will reportedly be gracing our screens on Valentine's Day 2020, but until then we're sure Reese will keep us up to date with PLENTY of teasers. 👱🏻‍♀️

Star Wars: Episode IX

There's also another major finale to a trilogy coming out next year in the form of Star Wars: Episode IX.

Dumbo

Disney are not holding back with their plans to give most of their old classic films the live-action treatment after the success of films like The Jungle Book, and Dumbo is now in the works. The trailer on its own had viewers weeping, so it's most likely to be a huge tear-jerker when it's released in the UK on 29th March 2019.

The Lion King

Another Disney classic to be given a live-action makeover next year is The Lion King. Fans of the original were dubious over whether anything could compare to the 1994 animated film, but the star-studded voice cast has managed to turn people around. The Lion King will be released in the UK on 19th July 2019.
