Kebbel, 39, who is involved in the sequel, offered more insight by revealing that the new project ‘does involve all of the OG cast.’

The title character, ‘may or may not get a chance to change’ his ways, which, she said, ‘would be very exciting.’

In the 2006 comedy, three ex-girlfriends — played by Kebbel, Bush and Ashanti — set up the title character, a serial cheater, to fall for the new girl in town, played by Brittany Snow, so they can show him how it feels to have his heart broken.

In spite of lackluster reviews, the romcom made nearly $70 million worldwide at the box office and has become a cult classic. 

‘Do I get a chance to wear a thong again?’ Metcalfe coyly asked during the panel.

Kebbel didn’t miss a beat when she answered, ‘We wanted to talk to you about that.’

‘We were thinking you’d actually, like, make your own brand, endorse it. It’d be a whole thing,’ she joked.

The Desperate Housewives alumna kept up the banter, declaring, ‘I’m here for it. I can’t wait to unleash this dad bod on the big screen.’

The old friends shares snaps from their visit to the windy city on social media.
