Reese Witherspoon is set to reprise her role as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde 3, according the US reports.

Multiple sources claim that the popular film franchise is set to make a comeback 15 years after the second film was released, which ended with Elle aspiring to work at the White House.

According to both The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline, the actress would produce the film through her Hello Sunshine banner.

The brand, founded by Witherspoon, describes their company as “anchored in storytelling, creating and discovering content that celebrates women and puts them at the centre of the story”.

The publications also report that original writers Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah are set to return to their roles while Mark Platt and Adam Siegel would produce, alongside the lead star.

Standard Online has contacted MGM and representatives for Witherspoon for comment.

Meanwhile, Witherspoon is busy filming the second series of HBO hit Big Little Lies, in which she stars alongside Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz and Shailene Woodley.

The all-star cast will be joined by award-winning actress Meryl Streep for the new run of episodes.

On Monday, the 42-year-old actress posted a picture of a Big Little Lies bowling break with Kidman, Woodley and Streep.

An air date for season two of the show is yet to be announced. Season one aired in the UK on Sky Atlantic.
