The path to a potential reunion for the band has shown some encouraging signs lately. In the past year, former members Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone joined forces to create a new song for Timberlake’s movie “Trolls Band Together.” This collaboration ignited enthusiasm among fans who had long anticipated more from the group.

In March, Timberlake ignited speculation of a reunion during his Forget the World tour stop by inviting his past bandmates to perform with him on stage. They teamed up for a rendition of “Paradise” from Timberlake’s most recent album, Everything I Thought It Was. Kirkpatrick shared his feelings, expressing, “I couldn’t help but smile the entire time! I was thinking, ‘I truly miss this!’… Those guys are amazing.”

Kirkpatrick expressed his hope that we all share the same expectation for the future: that our fanbase and many others still desire certain things from the band. He cautioned that we cannot let them down, so while nothing is guaranteed, the band will take their fans’ desires into serious consideration.

*NSYNC’s music in Deadpool & Wolverine

On Monday, the debut of the film was extraordinary for an additional reason. The Deadpool & Wolverine soundtrack featured the popular hit “Bye Bye Bye” by *NSYNC in its tracklist. Kirkpatrick shared his enthusiasm, remarking, “When we received the call, it was like, ‘We approve this, we approve that,’ but for this one, it was more like, ‘Wow, we’re approving the use of this iconic song!'”

He declared he had spotted Deadpool and intended to overrule everyone’s votes, regardless of their choices, for this song to make the cut. They might have preferred otherwise, but he was determined to include it in the film.
