She\u2019s in 4 and 5,\u201d he told EW<\/a><\/em> at D23. \u201cSo that got a little bit misreported. She will be coming in soon to do her part, which is an interesting, fun character. I mean, we\u2019re getting ahead of ourselves now. This whole thing has been planned for years and years.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued, \u201cThe scripts were all written years ago, through the end of movie 5. So we\u2019ve been working on parts of 4 even as we go along, mostly because we\u2019ve got this young cast. We had to shoot them all while they were still young.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe love Michelle<\/strong>,\u201d James<\/strong> added. \u201cShe was always a movie star, but she\u2019s blown up into a huge, huge phenomenon.
