Fans of the hit movie franchise "Pitch Perfect" are still waiting for updates regarding the cast members who will make up the third installment set to hit the U.S. cinemas in August 2017.

As of press time, the only confirmed characters to return are those of Anna Kendrick's Beca, Brittany Snow's Chloe, Rebel Wilson's Fat Amy, and Hailee Steinfeld's Emily. The youngest Bella confirmed her spot on the film to E! Online last year. In "Pitch Perfect 2," the other members of the acapella girl group graduated, leaving Emily as the only girl left. She will most likely become the leader and start her auditions for the next Bella woman in the campus in the third movie.

As for Beca, Chloe and Fat Amy, their storylines will probably be about their new adventures after college. They will also likely act as advisers and support system to Emily and her new crew. Chloe finally accepted the fact that she was scared to leave the Bellas behind and start anew. Fat Amy, on the other hand, got engaged to Bumper (Adam DeVine) in the last movie. It remains to be seen though if their love story will still continue in the next movie. Beca has been in a relationship with Jesse (Skylar Astin) since the first offering, but there is still no news about him joining the cast this time around.

According to Astin, he has yet to receive a call for an offer to return to the "Pitch Perfect" series. He told Wonderwall that as far as he knows, the script has not been written yet. The actor shared his desire to reprise his role but understood that the process would not be easy. He said, though, that once everything has been laid out and if there would be a part for Jesse in the script, he would get that happy call from the producers.

"If the script was written and they knew what my role was completely and they were deciding to not let me in on it, that would be strange. But I know that it's so in flux on a daily basis that they probably want to keep us out of it for our own best interest -- and we really understand that. So when the time comes and when it's time to pick up the phone, I know they will [call] and they know that I'll answer," he said.

"Pitch Perfect" 3 is set to premiere in theaters on August 4, 2017.
