'I love playing my character 'Fat Amy'': Rebel Wilson appeared on Lorraine on Wednesday morning to talk about the upcoming film, and her fears if there are no sequels

Speaking to Lorraine, she revealed that she definitely wants to do more Pitch Perfect films, or even a spin-off.

She said: 'We have so many fans all around the world. When they put out the poster for 'Pitch 3' it said 'Last call, Pitches' and we were like, 'What, are we out of a job?' We want to do four and five!'

Delving into her character, she continued: 'There's many other a capella teams to battle out there, I personally think, and I love playing my character 'Fat Amy'. She's such a fun confident girl and I want to definitely continue to play her more.'

Of whether she could have a spin-off film instead, Rebel said: 'There have been rumours. So we'll see how Pitch Perfect 3 goes for now and then who knows…. If you think about it, why was a random Australian girl in an American university? 

'She's a bit mysterious if you think about some of the things 'Fat Amy' says – she's wrestled crocodiles and she's done all these crazy things.'

And opening up about the recent Hollywood scandals, which saw director Harvey Weinstein accused of sexual harassment by several high profile women, she described it as an antidote.

'We have so many fans all around the world. When they put out the poster for 'Pitch 3' it said 'Last call, Pitches' and we were like, 'What, are we out of a job?' We want to do four and five!'

'There's so much going on with the sexual assault and sexual harassment allegations and it's great that this movie, 'Pitch 3', is directed by a female, it stars ten girls in an ensemble from very different backgrounds, it's all about female empowerment,' she said
