The beloved movie — which spawned a franchise — launched careers for stars like Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Skylar Astin. In celebration of the release of "Pitch Perfect 3" on Dec. 22, Wonderwall.com is paying homage by taking a look at what the cast has been up to since their first time slaying the stage! Read on for more…

Anna Kendrick led the way as Beca, the protagonist of "Pitch Perfect," a witty, rebellious aspiring music producer who reluctantly joins her college's a cappella troupe, the Barden Bellas. She eventually grows to cherish the tight-knit group and learns a whole lot about herself in the process.

Beca was a career-defining role for Anna Kendrick and only the start of her incredibly successful Hollywood trajectory. Following the 2012 release of "Pitch Perfect," Anna went on to appear in a slew of films including "Drinking Buddies," "The Voices," "Into the Woods" and "The Accountant." She also reprised her role as Beca in 2015's "Pitch Perfect 2" and 2017's "Pitch Perfect 3." Anna will also have a starring role alongside Shirley MacLaine and Bill Hader in a female Santa Claus movie, "Nicole," in 2019. The actress has been in a relationship with British cinematographer Ben Richardson since 2014.

Australian comedian-actress Rebel Wilson played Fat Amy, a funny nonconformist who marches to the beat of her own drum, in "Pitch Perfect."

Rebel Wilson has become a household name in comedy and film. After her role in "Pitch Perfect," she proceeded to act in movies including "Bachelorette," "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and "The Brothers Grimsby." She also starred on the 2013 TV series "Super Fun Night." Rebel reprised her role as Fat Amy in "Pitch Perfect 2" and in the third film in the franchise.
