Director Peyton Reed and screenwriter Jessica Bendinger hint that they'd like to make more Bring It On titles that expand the film's universe.
Bring It On director Peyton Reed has hinted that the cult classic may spawn an MCU-style series of films. The 2000 film stars Kirsten Dunst as Torrance Shipman, the captain of the Rancho Carne Toros cheerleading team. As the Toros navigate a series of competitions, they have to contend with the fact their former captain had been stealing routines from the East Compton Clovers, a cheer team led by Isis (Gabrielle Union).

"Someone told me last year in the context of a Marvel conversation about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, someone said, 'You guys should really make a ‘Bring It On’ Cinematic Universe.' We started talking about it and were like, 'Wait a second,' and started devising certain things that got us really really excited."
Sparky is the closest thing the film has to a villain. He strides into the Rancho Carne gymnasium with an old-fashioned doctor's bag and a boombox, berates the Toros about their skills, teaches them a truly bizarre routine involving "spirit fingers," then absconds with their money and sells the same routine to several other schools, putting the Toros in jeopardy at their next competition. As far as side characters in Bring It On
A Sparky solo film would probably look something like a bonkers crime film about a low-level con man set against a backdrop of competitive cheerleading, which honestly sounds pretty fun. And Reed knows a thing or two about MCU-style storytelling: he directed 2015's Ant-ManAnt-Man and the WaspBring It On universe, Reed is actually in a pretty good position to pull it off.
