Astin, who played Kendrick's love interest Jesse in "Pitch Perfect," will return to that role in the sequel to the 2012 hit musical film about a college a cappella group.

Written by Kay Cannon and directed by Elizabeth Banks, the film will also feature Katey Sagal ("Futurama," "Married With Children") and Academy Award nominee Hailee Steinfeld ("True Grit," "Romeo and Juliet"). Kendrick, Rebel Wilson ("Bridesmaids," "Super Fun Night"), Brittany Snow ("Hairspray," "There's Always Woodstock") and Adam DeVine ("Workaholics", "Modern Family") will reprise their roles from "Pitch Perfect."

The 2012 movie followed Beca (Kendrick), who joined The Bellas, her school's all-girls singing group. Kendrick's hit solo, "Cups," achieved triple-platinum status.
