As a seasoned gamer who’s seen more movies than I’ve racked up high scores in my favorite RPGs combined, I must say, the cast for Freaky Friday 2 is shaping up to be quite the epic quest! Jordan E. Cooper, a multi-talented powerhouse, joining forces with the legendary Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan? Sign me up!

A versatile actor is set to portray the role of Jett in the sequel to the comedy about body swapping.

Cooper boasts an impressive professional background. He’s a contender for the Tony Award, working not only as an actor but also as a playwright, producer, and director. His groundbreaking play “Aint No Mo'” earned him a place in history as the youngest Black American playwright on Broadway. The production garnered six Tony award nominations, one of which recognized Cooper’s acting prowess for his role as flight attendant Peaches.

What else do we know about Freaky Friday 2?

In the upcoming Freaky Friday sequel, we’ll see the return of Curtis and Lohan in their characters Tess and Anna Coleman. Additionally, several original cast members from the 2003 film will reprise their roles: Mark Harmon as Ryan, Chad Michael Murray as Jake, Christina Vidal Mitchell as Maddie, Haley Hudson as Peg, Rosalind Chao as Pei-Pei, Lucille Song as Pei-Pei’s mother, and Stephen Tobolowsky as Mr. Bates.

The film is a follow-up to the 2003 hit movie, offering a unique twist by exploring multiple generations.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan, Nathan Kelly, and Ann Marie Sanderlin have graciously taken on the roles of executive producers for the project.

In 2003, the initial release of this film generated approximately $160.8 million at the box office, and it has continued to be cherished by audiences since then. It was a revamped version of the 1976 Disney movie, which featured Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster in leading roles.
