Originally, Tina suggested that she may not know the actors who she could cast, as she'd like to make some stars, however, she was quick to say "If Billie Eilish wants to play Janis, and Zendaya wants to play Cady, let's do that!"

Previously, the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and Cameron Dallas appeared in the Mean Girls musical, playing Cady Heron and Aaron Samuels respectively.

"I'm very excited to bring Mean Girls back to the big screen," said Tina Fey in a statement.
