Acapella fans rejoiced after it was confirmed that there is going to be "Pitch Perfect 3".  Recently, Rebel Wilson showed a first picture from the set with some of her co-stars, including Anna Kendrick, which got fans even more excited.

The photo, which first surfaced on Wilson's Twitter feed, shows Ester Dean, Rebel Wilson, Kelley Jakle, and Hana Mae Lee, as well as (in the bottom row from left to right) Anna Kendrick, Chrissie Fit, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, and Shelley Regner.  It has been previously reported that Ruby Rose is also expected to join the cast.

Fans were quick to notice that Hailee Steinfeld was not in the picture. Steinfeld joined the cast of "Pitch Perfect 2", and it is reported that she signed a multi-movie deal, which may include Pitch Perfect 3 and two more follow-ups, MovieWeb said.

According to Bustle, the reason why Steinfeld is not in the photo is because she is busy preparing for the Golden Globes.  The actress has been nominated for Best Performance By an Actress in a Motion Picture for her work in The Edge of Seventeen.  Steinfeld confirmed in August that she will be back for "Pitch Perfect 3."

Currently, it is not yet clear whether Adam DeVine or Skylar Astin will be back for the new movie considering that the Barden Bellas counterpart, the Treblemakers, won't be back for the new film.  Producing the movie are series fixtures Elizabeth Banks, Paul Brooks of Gold Circle Entertainment and Max Handelman of Brownstone Productions.

The Barden Bellas' third movie is set to be released on December 22.  Variety reported that Elizabeth Banks will no longer direct the movie.  During the Producers Guild's Produced By conference last year, she said that her parental duties drove her decision to leave the director's chair.  Trish Sie will take her place.
