"I am so on board with this return of Lindsay Lohan," Caplan exclaimed to the magazine. "I’m just pumped. She was such an incredible talent when she was working as a kid and a young adult so I’m happy to see that she’s coming back."

On whether she would sign up to play her part as Janis Ian, the punk high school outsider and friend of Lohan's character, Caplan kept an open mind to the possibility of a return to the big screen.
"Of course, I would want to be a part of it," Caplan responded. "I would be an idiot not to join."
That would, of course, hinge on whether or not the movie's writer, Fey, had more up her sleeve in regard to a fresh and fulfilling script.
"But to me it feels like Mean Girls had a really good beginning, middle and end," Caplan noted about her 2004 role. "I don’t know what’s left of the story."
The movie was released almost two decades ago, meaning the once-fresh-faced students would have high schoolers of their own. Caplan opened up on her biggest role yet: motherhood.
"We got a lot of life in before we had a kid, so we were both very ready to do this," the Cloverfield actress said on having kids with Tom Riley. "And it’s just so much more mind-blowing and better than you could imagine before actually going through with it. That’s been our experience."
Caplan also gave insight into how she chooses her roles, which made sense in her portray of Janis
The actress shared that she's drawn to "complicated" female characters, who are "maybe not so easily compartmentalized."
