10 Movie Storylines Actors REFUSED To Do
2. Anna Kendrick Turned Down A "F***ing Problematic" Romance - Pitch Perfect 3
Another entry to add to the unwanted romance pile now, Anna Kendrick also found herself having to challenge a planned romance at one point, with this one being present in the original Pitch Perfect 3 script.
While Kendrick's Beca Mitchell ultimately didn't become romantically involved with Guy Burnet's music producer Theo in the finished film, Kendrick explained to Collider that this only came about after she "pushed back pretty hard on that..."
She'd also class this potential storyline as "f***ing problematic" to Harper's Bazaar, but that still didn't stop the folks in charge from trying to sneak in another scene that would have involved the two sharing a smooch. Kendrick once again rejected that idea.
A music executive entering Beca's life, beginning a working relationship with her, and then making a move on her definitely wasn't the right call - for, what should have been, pretty obvious reasons - with Kendrick specifically noting how she wasn't a fan of Theo entering Beca's world "and being the more active character."
Thankfully, Kendrick refused to budge on keeping the romance out of their relationship, and kept a seriously problematic plotline far away from the hit musical comedy franchise.
