Joe Jonas Sparks Camp Rock 3 Buzz After Hot Ones Versus Moment
Jordan Collins here. Okay, I’ll explain, but try to keep up. Joe Jonas just handed the internet a delicious little breadcrumb and now everyone is pretending they didn’t want it.
During a taped episode of Hot Ones Versus on Tuesday, Joe Jonas was asked to read the latest note in his phone and obligingly held up his screen, saying plainly, “Read ‘Camp Rock 3.” His offhand delivery froze brother Nick and cracked up Kevin, who admitted, “Okay, that’s a pretty good one.” Joe reinforced the moment by peeking at his phone and adding, “It’s the truth, it’s literally right here. Sorry, Disney.” That on-camera exchange, which fans have already clipped and shared across social platforms, lit the rumor mill on fire practically overnight.
Before you start drafting fan petitions, keep your composure: TMZ reports that conversations about a third Camp Rock movie have been underway between the Jonas Brothers and Disney for some time. Insiders tell TMZ the talks predate Demi Lovato’s surprise onstage reunion with the brothers at their MetLife Stadium tour kickoff. So yes, this isn’t pure improvisation; it’s a spark on tinder that has been smoldering.
Here’s the reality check. Camp Rock arrived in 2008 and turned the then-young Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato into bona fide pop-culture fixtures. Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam followed in 2010, and despite the subtitle, apparently nobody’s keeping finality vows. Sources say a draft exists or is in development talks, but Demi Lovato is not currently written into that early script. That could change, though, especially after her emotional reunion with the brothers. In a recent appearance on the Chicks in the Office podcast, Lovato called the MetLife moment “healing” and spoke candidly about the ups and downs she’s experienced with the Jonas Brothers over the years. So stakeholders may be watching to see if that renewed camaraderie nudges casting decisions.
Why this matters beyond nostalgia: the original films launched careers, inspired devoted fanbases and remain streaming staples for millennials who now have disposable income and nostalgic content appetites. Disney has a track record of mining profitable nostalgia, and casting the JoBros again gives the studio a low-risk, high-reward property to revisit. If Joe’s playful reveal is more than a gag, we can expect development chatter to ramp up quickly, agents to circle and fans to start burning through hashtags.
Still, don’t take Joe’s moment as a studio green light. Public squeals do not equal official press releases. Sources tell TMZ discussions are ongoing and internal, which suggests the project is in exploratory stages rather than full production. If Disney wants a return that lands with old fans and new viewers, they’ll need a script that balances fresh storytelling with the original’s campy charm, and that takes time and negotiation—especially when former stars’ careers and schedules are involved.
So what should you do? Keep refreshing the feeds, but temper your expectations. If Demi’s cameo at MetLife was any indicator, Camp Rock’s “final” jam might not have been so final, but casting, contracts and creative direction still need to align. Until Disney issues a statement or production photos leak, this is verified chatter plus a cheeky celebrity reveal—exactly the kind of thing that fuels headlines and fan theories.
Watch this space: if Joe’s Note app proves prophetic, expect more definitive moves from Disney, possible script drafts, and, naturally, a tsunami of fan reaction. Try not to combust until the studio makes it official.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
