Vivica A. Fox Sets the Record Straight: Why 'Set It Off' Sequel Rumors Are Far from Reality

Iconic actress Vivica A. Fox, now 61, is tempering the hopes of fans longing for a sequel to the groundbreaking film “Set It Off,” which starred an ensemble of powerhouse women. Fox shared the screen with Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, and Kimberly Elise in the 1996 film directed by F. Gary Gray, a title that has since earned a devoted following. In a recent episode of “Legacy Talk,” Fox reminisced about her treasured experiences working with her co-stars and recounted how Gray recruited her while she filmed “Independence Day.” When prompted about her dynamic with Pinkett, she reflected on moments of rivalry, revealing jealousy tied to romantic entanglements. However, Fox firmly dismissed the notion of a sequel, stating, “We dead! The only one alive is Jada!” Similarly, Pinkett has voiced her reluctance toward reviving the film, emphasizing that some classics should remain untouched—a sentiment shared by many fans as they embrace the original.
