Cody shared, "It was rough for me, it was rough for Megan [Fox]… [then] people started suddenly talking about it like it was a good movie, which I had thought all along." 

"At first I just thought, oh where was this audience when I needed it, and then I realized they were like…seven. 

And then some people who maybe didn’t appreciate it at the time have come around, and now I’m just happy."

She expressed a keen interest in returning to the Jennifer's Body universe, expressing her desire for a sequel. 

However, she emphasized the need to find partners who share her enthusiasm for the project.
