shared an exciting update on the highly anticipated third Legally Blonde film.
The actress, who recently with much fanfare, hinted at the return of her iconic character Elle Woods.
When asked if the long-awaited sequel was still happening in an interview with Bustle published on Thursday, she candidly replied: 'Absolutely.'
Witherspoon suggested the scriptwriters and filmmakers are still refining the 'world' of the film as the script remains in development.
'It's a whole world that we want to build with this character,' she explained.
Witherspoon said she recognizes the large demographic of people who want to see Elle's return - particularly at a later and equally important stage of her life.

She acknowledged women who 'want to rally' around multifaceted characters that reflect real-life people, which she said is 'not dissimilar to what happened with Barbie.'
'There's a feeling that women want to rally around those characters that were part of their childhood and celebrate the idea that Elle Woods is more than the color pink.'
Witherspoon added: 'She's part of your identity of self-worth and accomplishment.'
