Moreover, it was also mentioned that Kendrick would have to be replaced if the issue remains unresolved, and it seems fans are looking at just that.

According to Game N Guide, "High School Musical's" Vanessa Hudgens is the current candidate to replace Anna Kendrick in "Pitch Perfect 3." However, "Glee" star Lea Michele is also being considered for the role of Beca Mitchell. More rumors also claim that Rebel Wilson might leave the show as well due to schedule conflicts. 

To the contrary, University Herald reports that despite the rumors, Kendrick and Wilson will remain as the stars of "Pitch Perfect 3" and while Vanessa Hudgens and Lea Michele might be new members of the Barden Bellas.

If Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber does make an appearance in the upcoming film, along with Lea Michele and Vanessa Hudgens, the film has a massive shot at attaining that goal.
