Will Sunset Shimmer come back?

[Soaring Symphony 372]

Seriously, wouldn't it just be awesome if it happened in this movie?  The prospect of Sunset Shimmer returning to Equestria is something a lot of us have wanted ever since Rainbow Rocks.  It was even hinted at in some deleted scenes of "Friendship Games".  Unfortunately though, those scenes were just that . . . deleted.  And the writers haven't given much more indication toward the idea since then.  But what if it finally happened in this upcoming movie?  Do you think it could work and if so, how?

Slim chance. We're not even convinced Starlight Glimmer will be in this movie. Heck, Discord might not even be in it.

If Hasbro finally decide EQG is officially canon, then Sunset will be the proof eventually. People love her and want her to comeback and i will ask "then!?".

I think Sunset should make an appearance in the movie, but that all depends if the writers are willing to do that. They are aware that not all of the fandom is on board with Equestria Girls, and a more vocal portion feel that anything EQG related should stay as far away from the show as possible. For Sunset to appear, they need to have a really good explanation as to why she has never been mentioned before until now.

Probably not.

But I would like to see her get some sort of visual cameo in the background or something.

No. 

 

Sunset is going to remain in her bubble, which is the EG franchise. If she's ever going to return to Equestria, it's more than likely only going to happen in EG-related material. I'd say the best hope for it at this point would probably be one of the shorts next year. 

 

And even if she does, she only has a single reason for doing so, which is making amends with Celestia. That's it. She has nothing else there. And she most certainly has no reason whatsoever to appear in the movie.

You think that's the only reason?  I beg to differ

 

 

The simple fact is that Sunset doesn't belong in the EqG world.  She belongs in Equestria.  It's her home, and she knows it.

Thing is, that subplot was cut, and I would wager the reason was mostly because the writers didn't want the central star of the EG franchise to imply that she wanted out. Wouldn't exactly have been convenient towards the series' continuation. 

 

As long as Equestria Girls continues to run, Sunset will be part of it, and will not likely be part of anything else.

She will probably not appear in it, since she hasn't even appeared in the show. It seems like a bad idea and doesn't make sense to tie them together.
