"It doesn’t even feel like work," Lohan is quoted as saying, calling the film "more fun, more emotional" and explaining that Curtis is the main reason why they are back doing a second one.
Everything Everywhere All at Once actor Curtis also told the publication that The Good Place and Star Wars: The Acolyte actor Manny Jacinto will play Anna's husband, although she couldn't say more than that.
"Manny is lovely, so funny," she said.

We already know that Chad Michael Murray is back as Jake, who is Anna's love interest in the first film, and it looks like he'll feature quite a lot in this one.
