Kirkpatrick and his fellow bandmates — including Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone — reunited last year for a new original song on the soundtrack for Timberlake”s film, Trolls Band Together. This got fans clamoring for a reunion with renewed enthusiasm.
Then, in March, Timberlake was joined onstage by his former bandmates during a stop on his Forget the World Tour, and they collaborated on the track “Paradise” off his latest album, Everything I Thought It Was.
“Hopefully, you know, we”re all kind of in agreement that, moving forward, our fanbase and a lot of people, still want this,” Kirkpatrick continued. “So we can”t disappoint them. So it”s not a positive, but it”s a we”ll see.”

“It didn”t matter what they were gonna vote! I outvote them anyways, I can kick all their asses,” he joked, adding, “But, of course, we did [want it in the movie].”
