Jennifer Lopez was asked a series of questions while being interviewed by Vogue, in an interview released on November 30. One of those queries involved asking the accomplished actor which film from the past she would most like to see given a sequel. "'Gigli,'" Lopez cheerfully replied. The interview came as the singer made the rounds to promote her new album "This Is Me ... Now," which was a follow-up to her 2002 release "This Is Me ... Then." "The reason we're here is because I want to capture this moment in time because it is even better than the first time," Lopez told Zane Lowe on November 28. Clearly, she had sequels on her mind, but not everyone shared her enthusiasm to see a follow-up to the 2003 film. "Another 'Gigli' is the punishment we all should face for endlessly ogling Lopez and Affleck's recently revived relationship," The Cut wrote in 2021 when "Bennifer" started dating again.
Even though working on the critically-maligned film temporarily derailed his acting career, Affleck had no regrets about the film, as it led to his directorial pivot. "And I did get to meet Jennifer [Lopez], the relationship with whom has been really meaningful to me in my life," he told Entertainment Weekly in January.
In addition to working on "Gigli" together, Lopez and Affleck starred in 2004's "Jersey Girl" as well. That film, which was not well-received on release, has earned critical reappraisal over the years.
