Eager fans waiting for Disney's "High School Musical 4" are hoping that the original cast members would stage a reunion in the special musical event. But it looks like another one of its former stars has expressed she won't be joining. Vanessa Hudgens, who played lead character Gabriella in the first three "High School Musicals" last decade, has revealed she has no desire to be involved this time.
Speaking with fans at the recent Comic Con to promote "Powerless," her upcoming NBC comedy series, Vanessa Hudgens casually stated that she won't be back for "High School Musical 4." The star said, "I did my thing," and brushed off the question on whether she wants to be part of the latest musical or appear in a cameo.
"Let them do theirs," Vanessa Hudgens added, per Showbiz Junkies, alluding to the show's newest cast members. Disney is supposedly casting five new leads for the fourth musical, but it has not made any announcements on who these are just yet. Watch Vanessa Hudgens confirm her disinterest in appearing on "High School Musical 4" in the video below.

Vanessa Hudgens is not the first former "High School Musical" star to say that they have moved on from the Disney franchise since it first aired 10 years ago. Her BFF Ashley Tisdale also expressed regrets she won't be making a comeback to "High School Musical 4," as reported on Parent Herald.
Meanwhile, Zac Efron, the show's first male lead and Vanessa Hudgen's ex-boyfriend, once hinted that being in "High School Musical" has marked his career for so long. However, he would like Hollywood to recognize him for other things than being the kid in the series, per another Parent Herald report.
"High School Musical 4" was first announced in March, per E! Online. Casting calls were immediately done the following month, with filming supposedly forthcoming in the fall.
