“True Grit” star Hailee Steinfeld will join original stars Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow and Elizabeth Banks in the sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Steinfeld's role is unknown at this time, but at 17, she's the right age to play a freshman new to the world of college a cappella competition.
Banks is also serving as director, with a screenplay by original writer Kay Cannon.
Banks welcomed Steinfeld to the team via Twitter:
@HaileeSteinfeld Welcome to the Barden Bellas! Now lace up your dancing shoes, and get your tush down to Baton Rouge. #PitchPerfect2
