Diablo Cody says Jennifer's Body 2 will demonstrate its title demon's "sympathetic" qualities

Diablo Cody revealed on the Petticoat Revolution podcast that she is working on a sequel to her 2009 cult film Jennifer's Body. In the interview, Cody mentioned that she hopes the new film will make audiences more "sympathetic" towards the character of Jennifer Check, a teenage girl who becomes a flesh-eating succubus. Cody noted that Jennifer is "very isolated, very lonely, and very insecure" before and after her transformation, which she believes makes her a sympathetic character.

Although Cody is being tight-lipped about the plot details of the sequel, she did mention that she explored even more about Jennifer's character and the reasons behind her sympathetic qualities in the new movie. The news of the sequel has been confirmed by Deadline, although there are still no details about the casting. It is worth mentioning that stars Amanday Seyfried and Megan Fox have both expressed an interest in returning to the film's universe after nearly two decades.

Cody was complimentary about Fox's performance in the original film, stating that she successfully captured both the confident monstrous and human and lonely aspects of the character.
