The Barden Bellas will eventually pass the acapella torch in "Pitch Perfect 2" as they hit senior year according to movie director Elizabeth Banks.

Actress Elizabeth Banks, who marked her directorial debut with "Pitch Perfect," recently sat down for an interview with Yahoo Movies where she revealed some plot details for the sequel.

"The girls are now graduating seniors," she said.

The 40-year-old actress reportedly refused to divulge any details regarding Beca (Anna Kendrick) and Jesse's (Skylar Astin) relationship, whether fans would still see them together in the sequel. However, Banks did confirm that "Pitch Perfect 2" will follow Beca, Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) and the rest of the Barden Bellas through their senior year.

"They're coming to the end of their time as Bellas and figuring out how to sort of leave the nest and the comfort of each other's friendship and figure out what they're going to do with the rest of their lives," Elizabeth Banks continued.

While the first movie according to Screenrant, was focused on how the Barden Bellas recruited new members so they could reclaim their reputation, the sequel would reportedly be more about their journey into adulthood. The site claims their senior graduation would eventually have an impact to their formed relationships (friendships) and possibly their performance as Barden Bellas.

Additionally, Elizabeth Banks claimed "Pitch Perfect 2" would bring in a sense of "authenticity in the a capella world." That's why true a capella groups will make cameo appearances in the sequel. These include Pentatonix, the Filharmonic and Penn Masala, whom Banks described to be "amazing" groups.

"We really want to honor that and honor the people who are really doing it out there who we're inspired by when we make the movie," she said in the interview.

Screenrant claimed "Pitch Perfect" grossed $113 million worldwide at the box office. "Cups," one of the movie's official soundtracks, even landed a spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The movie's success allegedly didn't actually call for a sequel. However, it has generated such a following among fans, including those in the a capella community, that the sequel was given a greenlight.

"Pitch Perfect 2" opens in U.S. cinemas on May 15, 2015. Kay Cannon returns to pen the script while newcomers Hailee Steinfeld (Ender's Game) and Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy) join the casts.
