"Bend It Like Beckham" is getting a sequel over 20 years later, and the director is hopeful Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra will return.

Bend It Like Beckham followed Jess Bhamra (Nagra), an 18-year-old girl who has to hide her dreams of becoming a professional soccer player from her strict Indian parents. Jules Baxton (Knightley) notices Jess’s skills on the pitch and convinces her to join the the Hounslow Harriers, an amateur women’s soccer team.

With England's Lionesses winning the 2025 Euros, it is absolutely the right to revisit the classic, which is a staple of the British film industry.
