Even after 24 years, Gabrielle Union is still invested in the world of "Bring It On." On the film's anniversary, she took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask fans for their theories on what her character, Isis, would be doing now.

Union's playful request sparked a flood of responses, with fans envisioning Isis in various roles, from a Beyoncé choreographer to an accomplished prosecutor. This interaction highlights the enduring popularity of the film and its characters, even decades after its release.

"Bring It On," released in August 2000, explored themes of cultural appropriation and rivalry through the lens of competitive cheerleading. The film's central conflict revolved around Kirsten Dunst's character, Torrance, discovering her team's routines were stolen from Isis' squad.

While the film spawned several direct-to-video sequels, none featured the original cast. Both Union and Dunst have expressed interest in revisiting the "Bring It On" universe, though a sequel remains in development.

Union has previously spoken about her complex relationship with her breakout role as Isis. She admitted to "putting a muzzle" on the character, prioritizing respectability over fully expressing the frustration and anger caused by cultural appropriation.

Despite this, Union's recent post demonstrates her continued connection to the film and its fans. Her playful curiosity about Isis's fate invites audiences to reflect on the character's legacy and imagine her future beyond the events of the movie.
