Diplomatic Diablo Cody, the writer of the film Jennifer's Body, has updated on the progress of a sequel to the film, stating that it is not a typical sequel but a more creative way of exploring themes such as misogyny, revenge, queer love, and the struggle to exist as a teenage girl. The film, which initially failed to impress audiences, has now become a crucial cultural artifact. Cody believes that the film's cult classic status has now caught up with cultural trends and that the sequel will be about the story itself, not just about Jennifer and Needy.
