High School Musical 4 is officially casting actors for the new movie, and the original actors who made it big with the movie series apparently are NOT coming back. Can you say BS? Like seriously WTF right?!
Producers are searching for five new leads, including a soccer player, a bad boy dancer, a jock/theater nerd (hello, Troy 2.0)—who also happens to be Sharpay and Ryan’s cousin!—a cheerleader and a fallen queen bee. Here’s the scoop on the new characters:
Erin is a badass soccer player who strives for excellence—and the only girl on the boys’ team. She starts falling for the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, but isn’t sure whether to follow her heart.
Derek, the aforementioned bad boy who falls for Erin, is tough on the surface but a soft-hearted family guy at his core. He’s an excellent soccer player and incredible dancer who teaches dance classes to little girls at his family’s studio.
