After "Into the Woods," broadway-turned-Hollywood actress Ana Kendrick is slated to perform in the upcoming 87th Academy Awards. Will she bring the entire "Pitch Perfect 2" cast for the special Oscars 2015 performance?
Early this month "Pitch Perfect 2" star Anna Kendrick announced on Twitter that she will become part of the special performance during the 87th Academy Awards happening this coming Feb. 22.

Producers of the 87th Oscar Awards, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, also confirm Anna Kendrick's performance, according to People, and said that the "Pitch Perfect 2" star "will be performing something special that is sure to be an 'Only on the Oscars' moment."
While long list of artists have been asked to perform for the upcoming Oscars, this sadly does not include the entire ensemble of the Barden Bellas of "Pitch Perfect 2." The confirmed list of artists performing on Feb. 22 includes Lady Gaga for a special tribute performance, Jennifer Hudson, the duo Tegan and Sara, Neil Patrick Harris, John Legend, Jack Black, and Maroon 5, among others.
Meanwhile, the second trailer for the upcoming "Pitch Perfect 2" has been unleashed, revealing Rebel Winson's character Fat Amy in a horrifyingly embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during a performance for the US president. The ensemble is up to battle a foreign acapella group after being dethroned as a result of the performance mishap. The Barden Bellas battle in a stage where no American acapella group has ever won before.
"Pitch Perfect 2" stars "Into the Woods" and "The Last Five Years" lead actress, Anna Kendrick as well as Rebel Wilson, broadway actor Skylar Austin, and musical film veteran, Brittany Snow.
"Pitch Perfect 2" release date has been set on May 15. Watch the second trailer here!
