With Anna Kendrick returning to the set, "Pitch Perfect 3" is all set to go. According to a report from hollywoodlife.com, the studio has even set a release date for the very popular film about the Barden Bellas.

In line with the news, Kendrick reportedly said, "I feel lucky to be in close proximity for so long to women who are so different from one another. After filming, you homogenize everybody as this great group of girls; when you're back you get to experience everyone as an individual again, and that's really nice."

The movie's release date set is set for July 21, 2017, according to a post from the film's official Twitter account. The tweet read, "The aca-gods have spoken. #PitchPerfect3 is coming July 21, 2017!" This message included pictures of stars Kendrick and Rebel Wilson.

Kendrick confirmed the return, with an Instagram post reading "Happening#3," with the star holding up her three middle fingers and winking at the selfie, as reported in mtv.com.

According to an exclusive report from the Hollywood Reporter, the screenwriter for the first two films, Kay Cannon, is now in negotiations for the third installment. Another matter for discussion is the return of Elizabeth Banks to direct the new film.

"Pitch Perfect 2" raked in $259.7 million worldwide to date while the first film earned $115.4 million. Unlike Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow has not confirmed her return as well as Hailee Steinfeld.

In the film, Kendrick plays Beca, one of the leaders of the Bellas. According to a report from cnn.com, Kendrick's other films set to be shown in the near future includes "The Accountant" opposite Ben Affleck, "Mr. Right" opposite Sam Rockwell and the Fox Searchlight-produced film "Table 19."

"Pitch Perfect 3" stars Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson may seem to be the best of friends in front of the cameras, but rumor has it that the two actresses are not fans of each other in real life. Is their rumored rift causing tension on the set of "Pitch Perfect?"

"Pitch Perfect" is undoubtedly one of most successful movie franchises, especially after the successful release of its sequel this year. While the movie is all about promoting friendship and camaraderie, the lead stars of the movie, Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson are rumored to be in the midst of a rift, Women's Day reported.

What caused the tension between Kendrick and Wilson?

According to the report, Kendrick and Wilson were never fans of each other from the first time they starred on "Pitch Perfect." An insider told the outlet that Wilson and Kendrick's personalities were just on the opposite poles, which is why the two stars never grew fond of each other.

The outlet, however, added that personality differences are not the root cause of the actress' rumored rift. The outlet cited that the 29-year-old star was jealous of the fact that Wilson was gaining more of the fans' attention.

"Anna loves the limelight, and the fact that Rebel gets more attention for being funny really gets to her. She can be pretty rude to Rebel at times," the insider shared.

The insider also expressed hope that the two stars can get past through their differences, especially because a sequel to "Pitch Perfect 2" has been confirmed.

"Pitch Perfect 3" will see the return of Anna Kendrick as Beca and Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy, Time Magazine reported. Other cast members of the franchise have yet to sign up to reprise their respective roles in the movie.

Elizabeth Banks will be producing "PP3" but other details about the upcoming sequel remain unknown.

"Pitch Perfect 3" premieres on July 21, 2017.
