Don’t count on seeingSandra Bullockever doingMiss Congeniality 3, as the actress still regrets accepting the heavily-panned second film. In 2000, Bullock starred in the originalMiss Congenialityfilm in which she played an FBI agent tasked with going undercover as a Miss United States pageant contestant when it comes under threat of a terrorist attack. The film was a big hit at the box office and earned Bullock a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.Bullock reprised her role as FBI agent Gracie Hart in the 2005 sequelMiss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous. In the sequel, Gracie struggles with her celebrity status while taking on a new assignment to track down a missing friend from the beauty pageant. The movie was hammered with negative reviews upon its release, landing with a 15% rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes. It now serves as a blemish on Bullock’s otherwise solid resume.For her part, Bullock now feels thatMiss Congeniality 2should never have seen the light of day, although she did appreciate working with Regina Hall. She also makes it clear she has no interest in doing another sequel to that film, though she’s open to seeing a child star taking over the role in a prequel. While promoting her new movieThe Lost City, Bullock was asked byMetro UKif she would be up for returning forMiss Congeniality 3, and this is what the actress had to say:
“God no, no. No.[Miss Congeniality]2 shouldn’t have been done, but I’m glad that it did, because it was with Regina [Hall], who just, I freakin' adore. That one should’ve remained a one-off. Unless they make a prequel with a young Gracie Hart… I think Gracie Hart is in her 10, 11-year-old life, still acting very much the same as Gracie Hart as an adult.”

Sandra Bullock Also Regrets Speed 2: Cruise Control
Recently, Sandra Bullock also dished on how she felt about her sequelSpeed 2: Cruise Control. Bullock now has no trouble saying that she should have rejected that movie, as did herSpeedco-star Keanu Reeves. It seems so obvious looking back for Bullock, who can’t get over the fact that the film is aSpeedsequel set in one of the slowest-moving vehicles imaginable, making it much less thrilling than the high-speed bus on the freeway seen in the first movie.
“I have one [film] no one came around to and I’m still embarrassed I was in. It’s calledSpeed 2,” Bullock explained. “I’ve been very vocal about it. Makes no sense. Slow boat. Slowly going towards an island. ââââThat’s oneI wished I hadn’t doneand no fans came around, that I know of.”
Back in 2015, Keanu Reeves similarly said onJimmy Kimmel Liveof his choice to turn down the sequel, “I didn’t get to be in that. Well, I decided not to be in that. I loved working with [director] Jan de Bont and Sandra, of course. It was just a situation in life where I got the script and I read the script and I was like, ‘Ugh.’ It was about a cruise ship, and I was thinking, ‘A bus, a cruise ship…Speed, bus, but then a cruise ship is even slower than a bus, and I was like, ‘I love you guys, but I just can’t do it.'”
