Jonathan Bennett Says Aaron Samuels Should Stay Straight in Any ‘Mean Girls’ Sequel

He argues the character’s story should remain consistent regardless of the actor’s sexuality.

Overview

  • Speaking on the I’ve Never Said This Before podcast, Bennett said he would keep Aaron Samuels straight if a sequel happens.
  • He added that about 99 percent of the original cast wants to return, though he noted there have been no formal talks.
  • Bennett emphasized that any decision rests with creator Tina Fey and the studio, and no sequel has been announced.
  • He floated a multigenerational concept with Aaron as a teacher and the original women as parents to new students.
  • He also pointed out that several original male cast members later came out as queer and noted the role passed to Christopher Briney in the 2024 movie musical.
