The “Civil War” star was recently asked by Entertainment Tonight if she’d ever reprise her role of Torrance Shipman, a perky teenage cheerleader who introduced the world to the concept of a cheer-ocracy and flirty toothbrushing in the beloved 2000 teen comedy “Bring it On.”

“It’s just not my thing. But I did see ‘Paw Patrol.’”
