Lindsay Lohan “never thought” she would star in a movie sequel.

The actor has reprised her Freaky Friday alter ego Anna Coleman to star in Freakier Friday, and Lohan is “manifesting” the 2025 flick because it felt “really special” to see how her character has evolved.

“I’m excited. It feels surreal. I’ve never thought I would do a movie where there would be a sequel,” the 38-year-old told the US issue of Elle magazine.

“It’s something you don’t really think about. And then when you get to do it, and bring a character that you knew so well back to life, in a sense, it’s exciting.

“There’s a comfort with it that you don’t find in a new character. It’s evolved. What are they like now? How can we shoot it? So it felt really special, and so did doing my first feature back with Disney again after not doing features for such a long time.

“It’s a really nice thing.”

Lohan, who was 15 years of age at the time of making Freaky Friday, said doing the sequel felt like coming home, and the actor loves that she can “share” the film with her husband Bader Shammas and their toddler son Luai.

“And to be back there at this time and have a full life and be able to share it with my husband and my son, it definitely feels unique in a lot of ways, and it’s nice.”

Freakier Friday picks up years after Freaky Friday, where Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her daughter Anna switched bodies and lived each other’s lives following a freak incident.

Anna has a daughter and is about to have a step-daughter, and she and Tess fear “lightning might indeed strike twice” when the two families “merge”.
