A Commitment to Excellence
SZA shared her thoughts on the possibility of reprising her role, stating, “I would be so honored to be involved in anything that they did again. I would just literally just try way harder knowing what’s at stake; people will be watching, and I can play into that.” This reflects her dedication to delivering a compelling performance should a sequel materialize.
