Sandra Bullock is not interested in making another Miss Congeniality movie — in fact, she regrets making the 2005 sequel in the first place.

In Speed 2: Cruise Control, Bullock and her character’s new beau, are on a cruise ship that gets hijacked by a villain (Willem Dafoe), who plans to crash the boat into an oil tanker. Her original costar, Keanu Reeves, turned down the sequel, and the Virginia native
