As Freakier Friday continues to rely down the times till its August 8 premiere and promising vibes aligned with the OG, an easter egg has followers much more excited. The 2025 film schedule flick’s trailer confirms that Lindsay Lohan has been working with some beloved outdated co-stars, and I’m not speaking about Jamie Lee Curtis, after all. Elaine Hendrix of The Mother or father Lure aka one of many most despicable romantic companions on the market and would’ve been step-mom, was briefly teased and it’s received my nostalgic 90s-filled self thrilled.
With the 2003 hit launched over 22 years in the past, the sequel has been lengthy awaited and hoped for by many earlier Disney children. Every step of the way in which, followers of the franchise have been full of pleasure from JLC’s wrap publish praising Lohan to this shock Elaine Hendrix cameo (the looks was confirmed by Individuals). What half she’ll play stays unclear as of this posting however all the identical has Lohan stans thrilled that two of her finest humorous household motion pictures have collided.
The Freaky Friday 2 trailer units up the story in a really related option to its predecessor. Anna (Lohan) and Tess Coleman (Curtis) stroll into one other body-swapping storyline however with two youthful characters in tow. Together with the swapping chaos, it appears that evidently Anna’s band, Pink Slip, makes a return, together with hilarious already quotable moments and a few out-of-character outfits. The peep we get of Hendrix doesn’t reveal a lot but it surely’s thrilling all the identical–you’ll be able to see her close to the 1:18 mark:
The remainder of the trailer, for me, has some context I can piece collectively, however the Meredith Blake actress’ function stays a thriller. I’m thrilled that she’ll have display time with By no means Have I Ever’s Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (I’m betting nice comedic scenes between the 2) and dressed in addition to Meredith Blake. Then again, I’m nervous she’ll be one other magnificent meanie, based mostly on the fast facial expressions.
No matter she does, although, can be unbelievable since her beforehand shared title with Lohan is her most iconic. And as a millennial child watching the Imply Women star rise in real-time, and obsessing over her and each The Mother or father Lure and Freaky Friday (and streamable with a Disney+ subscription), I can’t await the latter’s continuation.
Whether or not or not The Mother or father Lure is in talks for a remake or franchise stays to be seen. Nancy Meyer’s involvement appears to be a should for the 1998 star who performed each Hallie Parker and Annie James. Together with it Charles Shyer, who co-wrote the newer iteration of the traditional story, handed away late final 12 months, with Lohan paying tribute to her ‘expensive buddy’.
It appears much less probably we’ll get one other installment of the scheming twins anytime quickly, however all the identical, it’s nice to have Hendrix part of the approaching LiLo mission in any capability.
