Alright, let’s get real here for a moment. When we heard what was supposed to happen in the never-made Sex and the City 3, it hit us like a ton of bricks. Let me break it down for you. Picture this: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, Chris Noth, and even the show’s writer Michael Patrick King all sat down with journalist James Andrew Miller for an episode of his Origins podcast. What they revealed was nothing short of jaw-dropping. The third movie script had a plot twist that no one saw coming—Mr. Big’s sudden death. Yes, you heard me right. Mr. Big, Chris Noth’s character, was written to die, and it was supposed to be the central theme of the entire movie. Can you imagine how Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, would handle losing her husband? Now, here’s the kicker—this very plot point is the reason Kim Cattrall, who played the unforgettable Samantha Jones, decided she wasn’t coming back for another SATC movie.
Why Kim Cattrall Said No to Another 'Sex and the City' Movie
As Miller explained during the podcast, people close to Kim believe the script didn’t give Samantha enough to work with. They argued that the story was more about Carrie dealing with Mr. Big’s death rather than exploring the bond between the four women. Here's what Miller said: “They point to the fact that it calls for Mr. Big to die of a heart attack in the shower, relatively early on in the film, making the remainder of the movie more about how Carrie recovers from Big’s death than about the relationship between the four women.” Can you blame Kim for feeling like her character was being sidelined? It’s a fair concern, and it makes you wonder if this decision was the right one for the franchise.
Chris Noth's Thoughts on the 'Sex and the City' Movies
Now, let’s talk about Chris Noth for a minute. He wasn’t exactly a fan of some of the more over-the-top moments in the previous SATC movies. In the podcast, he opened up about his feelings. “I really hate corny stuff and it could be because I’m a little bit of a cynic. Like, the whole thing at the end of the movie in the shoe closet, hated it,” Chris admitted, referring to the moment when his character proposes to Carrie in the first movie. He went on to say, “Hated the thing at the end of the movie after I felt she deceived me and then I say, ‘Well, it’s time I give you a bigger diamond ring.’ Hated it… I thought it was just really sentimental and overly romantic without any feet in realism.” It’s clear that Chris wanted the storylines to feel more grounded and authentic.

Will We Ever See 'Sex and the City 3'?
Even though the third movie script seems to be ready, the cast is unsure if it will ever see the light of day. Kim’s decision to step away from the project, combined with the reported tensions between her and the rest of the cast, has cast a shadow over the future of Sex and the City. Show creator Michael Patrick King weighed in on the situation during the podcast. “Kristin, Cynthia, and Sarah Jessica became one group, and Kim never joined mentally. Kim fought and said, ‘I’m everyone’s favorite’… [Sarah Jessica’s] name was contractually, legally, righteously, the only name on the poster due to the fact that she was a movie star in 1998 when the series started and she did a leap to do a show about sex on [HBO], the channel that did the fights, and it doesn’t matter how popular you are. I guess for Kim it didn’t matter how much the raise became if there was never parity, but there was never going to be parity,” King explained.
