"I'm a massive fan of the books and my character, Mia Grey, she very much evolves in [books] two and three slowly but surely. So if they do ask me [to be in the film], of course I'll be there," Ora said to Lorraine.
Fans were extremely upset that Mia had such a small role in the entire film. Due to the fans' response, the franchise's next director could consider adding more scenes with Mia.
