Elle for President! Legally Blonde 3 could be on the way VERY soon

Our favourite legal whiz could be making a return to the big screen very soon, if Reese Witherspoon gets her way.

The actress admitted she's more than ready for Legally Blonde 3, and she's already envisioned what Elle Woods might be up to these days.

"I think it'd be kind of a cool thing to have her be a Supreme Court justice or someone who runs for office," Reese revealed on US chat show Fashionably Late this week.

With Hillary Clinton currently making her bid for US presidency, Reese says she'd love to see Elle Woods in a similar position, if a sequel were to happen.

"I actually think it's kind of great right now because we're talking about women in politics and how important it is to get more women," she said.

"A lot of writers over the years have come up with different ideas for it… I think we're ready to see Elle and see what she's up to lately."

But could a third instalment of Elle (and Bruiser)'s story really be on the way, or is it just a pipe dream?

"Ask MGM." Reese quipped.

Back in 2013, Jennifer Coolidge, who plays Paulette, said Reese had turned down offers of a third film – but it seems like the actress may have changed her tune.
