In an exclusive interview with Variety, the talented actress explained that she simply wasn’t excited about the prospect of doing a commercial and would have preferred to be part of a movie instead.
McAdams revealed that she was unaware that everyone else in the original Mean Girls cast had agreed to do the commercial, but expressed her disappointment in not being able to reunite with her former co-stars. She admitted that she would have loved to be part of a Mean Girls reunion, as the film has become a pop culture phenomenon since its release in 2004.
Furthermore, McAdams also opened up about her absence from the upcoming Mean Girls movie musical.

This statement is sure to pique the interest of fans who have been eagerly awaiting any news regarding a possible continuation of the beloved film.
In conclusion, Rachel McAdams’ explanation for declining the Mean Girls-themed commercial sheds light on her personal preferences and commitment to her craft. While she may not be involved in the commercial or the upcoming musical adaptation, the reunion of Lacey Chabert, Lindsay Lohan, and Amanda Seyfried in the commercial brings a wave of nostalgia to fans worldwide. Chabert’s expressed interest in a potential sequel to Mean Girls further adds fuel to the speculation surrounding the possibility of a continuation of this cult classic.
