The Importance of the Fortune Cookie
The fortune cookie was an important plot device in Freaky Friday. When Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Anna (Lindsay Lohan) visited a Chinese restaurant, they each opened a fortune cookie that revealed their fortune and resulted in them switching bodies.
It has since become a symbol for the popular movie, with Disney even selling limited edition Freaky Friday Fortune Cookie Pins at various parks to mark its 20th anniversary in 2023.
As the snack is so iconic and played a huge role in the first film, it is likely to appear in Freakier Friday in some capacity, even if it shows a character reading their fortune or munching on the Chinese snack.
Also, current betting odds suggest a fortune cookie will appear in Freakier Friday at some point. However, you will need to watch the long-awaited movie this August to find out if the snack pops up in a scene. Keep your eyes peeled!
Expect a Double Body Swap in the Sequel
While a fortune cookie didn’t appear in the official Freakier Friday trailer, it provided an insight into the movie’s plot and what fans can expect from the sequel.
For instance, it shows there will be a double body swap, as Tess and Anna will swap bodies again while Anna’s daughter Harper and her soon-to-be stepsister will step into each other’s shoes.
As there will be two body swaps in the movie, there is a possibility that one of them might happen from snapping open a fortune cookie. You will have to watch it to find out!
A Fortune Teller Appears in the Official Trailer
A fortune cookie may have played an important role in Freaky Friday, but there is no guarantee it will pop up in the 2025 sequel.
If you have seen the official trailer for the flick, you will know that a fortune teller (played by Saturday Night Live’s Vanessa Bryer) tells Tess and Anna that they “learned a lesson. A lesson that might serve you again.”
As a result, the four characters awake to discover they have swapped bodies, suggesting the fortune teller may have played a role in the body swapping. However, it doesn’t rule out the opening of a fortune cookie or its appearance in the film.
Fortunately, you don’t need to wait too long for Freakier Friday to arrive in a movie theater near you, as it is scheduled for release on August 8, 2025.
