“Penn, I don’t know if you’ve had a call, but I’ve gotten no call,” Snow, 38, said after the subject of whether the reports were true was brought up.

The You star, 37, then replied, “Yeah, I’ve had no call, no.”

“Yeah. I don't, I don't know,” the Gossip Girl alum continued. “I've got the smallest role in the movie. I don't know that I would belong in it anyway.”

John Tucker Must Die saw Badgley play the role of Scott Tucker, John Tucker's (Jesse Metcalfe) brother, while Snow portrayed protagonist Kate Spencer.

 “I'm not doing it if you're not doing it,” Snow told her costar as Badgley fell into laughter.

He added, “Never have I even thought of that as a potential thing. But I guess if there was a script, I would read.”

Snow then went on to say that she and actress Arielle Kebbel — who played Carrie in the movie — had been talking about a sequel “for years because she was trying to get it off the ground.” 

“But I didn't know what happened, and it kind of just, I was like, ‘go forth’. Mhmm. You know? ‘Go forth with that,' ” she added. “So that was the last I had heard of it was that she was trying to make it happen, and so I guess she did.”

PEOPLE reported back in March that 18 years after the movie’s release, a sequel was in the works. This came after the film’s lead Metcalfe, 45, revealed at Epic Cons Chicago that he would “definitely love to be a part of” a second movie.

"I've heard rumors of this script — there's a script," he said. "Apparently it's amazing," he continued, adding that he couldn't "wait to read it."
