On top of her apparent distaste for this romantic storyline, Anna Kendrick was not sold on Beca's entire character arc for "Pitch Perfect 3," which saw the character taking on a solo career path and separating from the Bellas.
"I had to be sold on [Beca's solo career turn] because Beca, while she has dreams, she's not especially ambitious," Kendrick said. "She's not particularly driven in that she would ask for things she didn't feel like she deserved — so, I guess, a character would have to open her up to that idea."
Additionally, Kendrick pushed back on several instances within the script that saw Beca becoming flustered by Theo because she found him so attractive.
"The idea of Beca being really intimidated by dudes just didn't work well." Anna Kendrick's comments make it clear that the longtime "Pitch Perfect" star had plenty of concerns with the way that Beca's story was initially presented in the script for "Pitch Perfect 3." Fortunately, the final product seems to have taken all of her concerns into account.
Not only was the romantic relationship between Theo and Beca scrapped, but Beca becomes Theo's boss by the end of the film. Although it's clear that Kendrick had a slew of misgivings about Beca's character in "Pitch Perfect 3," it seems like her input helped get the story back on track by the time that filming began.
