'Pitch Perfect 3' will happen if number 2 goes well: Banks

Los Angeles: A third "Pitch Perfect" movie could be a possibility if "fans embrace" the upcoming sequel, according to Elizabeth Banks.

Banks also revealed her plans about directing again after "Pitch Perfect 2", which debuted in US and UK cinemas this weekend, reported Collider. "I will say, it would be disingenuous to say that no one's talking about a 'Pitch Perfect 3'; the possibility of it," she said.

"We are really focused on getting as many butts in seats for this one. If fans embrace it, we are going to seriously think about what the continuing journey would look like, but we don't know what that is yet.

"I guess I really love the story of legacy in this one, I knew I wanted the riff-off to look pretty much exactly what the riff-off looks like in this movie and I knew what the finale looked like, so I had some connection points into the story that really jazzed me up, and I don't know what the story of the third one is yet. So I can't say... But I'm excited to delve in and figure it out," the 41-year-old actress said.

Banks reprises her role alongside Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Rebel Wilson in "Pitch Perfect 2".
