Buffy The Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar has said she’s too old to battle any more bloodsuckers.
The 37-year-old actress – who has just been announced as the voice of a new role in animated show Star Wars Rebels – rose to fame as kick-ass school girl Buffy Summers in Joss Whedon’s hit show, which ran from 1997 to 2003.
Like all cult shows, there is often internet buzz about a possible spin-off movie or reunion, but Sarah told fans not to expect one from Buffy.
She said: “I joke that I’d have to have a walker and my walker would be made of wood, and that would be how I would stake people, at this point, I’m a little old.”
The mother-of-two added: “We have them [reunions] all the time, they’re just not televised.”
And as for a movie spin-off, Sarah pointed out Joss Whedon’s character first came to life in a flop 1992 movie starring Kristy Swanson as Buffy.
Sarah said: “People forget, Buffy was a failed movie. Buffy didn’t work as a movie, it worked as a long-arc television show where you could follow this journey.
“We spent all of our first year going, ‘Yes, we know we’re based on a failed movie, but we’re different.’
“And so it just seems counter-productive to go back. It didn’t work the first time.”
