The new Mean Girls musical movie features some old and new faces, but does this include Lindsay Lohan?

Mean Girls, unlike “Fetch”, is always going to happen. And thus, a movie adaptation of the 2018 Broadway musical by Tina Fey seemed pretty much inevitable.

The new movie’s synopsis reads: “New student Cady Heron gets welcomed into the top of the social food chain by an elite group of popular girls called the Plastics, ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George. However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend, she soon finds herself caught in their crosshairs.”

But of course, Cady Heron was once played by iconic actress Lindsay Lohan all the way back in 2004. But considering how integral she was to the original movie, does she appear in this new iteration?

Does Lindsay Lohan appear in Mean Girls 2024?

Yes, she does. Lindsay Lohan makes a cameo as the judge for the Mathlete tournament near the end of the new Mean Girls movie.

As the movie draws to its climax, we see most of the school getting ready for the Spring Fling Formal, but Cady, along with the other mathletes, head to a tournament against another school. And who should be asking the questions and judging the answers, but Lohan herself.

The actor gets in a good number of funny lines, and there’s even some fun references to the original 2004 movie; when both schools tie at the tournament, Lohan’s character says this has only happened once before, referencing her own competition.

The first film was a major career boost for the actor at the time, and to this day it remains one of her most iconic roles.

Do other 2004 Mean Girls actors appear?

No, none of the other original stars appear in the new Mean Girls movie. This includes Rachel McAdams (Regina), Amanda Seyfreid (Karen), Lacey Chabert (Gretchen), Daniel Franzese (Damien), and Lizzy Caplan (Janice Ian).

However, a number of the cast, specifically the old Plastics (barring McAdams), actually came together to do a commercial for Black Friday Walmart deals last year. Considering it’s the 20th anniversary of the original movie, we may see more from them this year.
