AN *NSYNC REUNION IS HAPPENING! IT’S (PROBABLY) REALLY HAPPENING!

Posters for the upcoming Trolls movie, Trolls Band Together, have popped up in New York City, and the *NSYNC logo is front and center. A QR code on the poster links to a website that also features a giant *N along with the tops of five troll heads, which could signify the five members of the group (Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick). The website’s URL also seems to tease a new song, “Take You To A Better Place.” If you hit the “play” button, a hook that features some grade-A whistling plays, which could be a snippet of the song. The third installment of the Trolls franchise, which stars Timberlake, is about a boyband reuniting, so an IRL reunion just makes sense! 

Last month, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Timberlake’s former bandmates “are expected to have surprise roles” in the new movie. If *NSYNC in fact reunited for a new song, it’ll be their first since the 2001 single “Girlfriend.”

Earlier this year, Bass opened up about the possibility of a reunion. “I think it just has to be the right time; we all have to be inspired in the moment,” he said. “But I do think the world needs something again from *NSYNC. I always feel bad that there was no ending, because we didn’t have a final show, we didn’t have a final tour, because we didn’t know it was the final days.”

“We owe it to the fans to give them something at some point,” he added.

Clips from LA Pop Up Marionette Show

For those following along on social media, *NSYNC paired with Bob Baker Marionettes to perform two “shows” via the marionettes on September 8th. There was a 9AM show at Universal Citywalk and a 3PM show on Hollywood Blvd in front of the Chinese Theatre.

There was an 8 minute medley performed at both sets with a 40 second clip of what we believe is the new single “Better Place” sandwiched in the middle.

TODAY: Is the new ‘Trolls’ movie teasing an ‘N Sync reunion?

‘N Sync is dropping a lot of hints that the band might be getting back together — or at least that’s what some fans think.

It all started when onlookers noticed there was an *NSYNC logo plastered on posters outside promoting the new “Trolls Band Together” movie.

According to one Twitter user, these posters were spotted around LA, and if you scan the QR code provided on the artwork, you’ll see that it’ll take you to a website promoting the children’s movie, which is set to be released on Nov. 17.

On the website, fans could hear a whistling tune if they clicked the “play” button.

In “Trolls Band Together,” Justin Timberlake, who was a part of ‘N Sync with singers Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone, will be reprising his role as Branch.

The film’s trailer shows that there will be a storyline about a boy band called “Brozone.”

PEOPLE: Is an *NSYNC Reunion Coming? Here’s Why Fans Think ‘Trolls’ Brought the Band Back Together

If anyone is going crazy over an *NSYNC reunion, it’s gonna be me!

*NSYNC superfans believe the band may have reunited to record after several Trolls Band Together posters were posted in New York, featuring the first letter of the *NSYNC logo and a QR code.

Trolls Band Together is the third film in the Trolls franchise, which features Justin Timberlake — who sang for *NSYNC alongside Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone — as Branch, the lead character. In 2016, he recorded “Can’t Stop the Feeing” for the first film and it became a No. 1 hit.

When fans scanned the QR code, it took them to this site. When you press “play,” a whistling tune is played.

The film’s trailer — which features hilarious boy band references — also notably slid in this language: “We’re out of sync. We’ve gone from boys to men, and now there’s only one direction for us to go: the backstreets.”

The voice cast for the new film includes Camila Cabello, Eric André, Amy Schumer, Andrew Rannells, Troye Sivan, Daveed Diggs, Kid Cudi, Zosia Mamet, Zooey Deschanel, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, RuPaul Charles, Aino Jawo, Caroline Hjelt, Kenan Thompson, Anderson Paak, Kunal Nayyar and Ron Funches.

If the speculation is true, this would be *NSYNC’s first release since 2002. After Timberlake, 42, left the group to pursue a solo career that same year and the group went on hiatus, they reunited for a performance at the VMAs in 2013. Then, in 2016, they got together once again for their Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.

In March, PEOPLE spoke to members of *NSYNC in honor of 25 years since the release of their self-titled debut album.

“We had five individuals that each took characteristics of the next guy, which took your same characteristics and then took characteristics from the next guy,” Kirkpatrick, 51, shared. “And then by the way, Lance sings really low. Joey sings pretty low. JC sings mid. Justin sings pretty high. Chris sings really high. To have that arc vocally, and the looks… We really complemented each other so well in every aspect of what *NSYNC was, from personalities to music to just hobbies to fashion senses, all that stuff.”

The individuals behind the record-breaking boyband also opened up about what led to the group’s commercial breakthrough and how, by the time of their ’98 U.S. debut, they all had a bit of each other ingrained in them.

“Everybody helped out each other with that personality,” Fatone said. “Meaning, sometimes JC was very quiet about stuff. My dumb, goofy ass is outgoing. That helped him to come out of his shell a little bit more. Me being that goofy and dumb, I look at JC and I go, ‘S—, you know what? I need to come up a little bit more correct and start being a little more serious.’ So we had these combinations of each other that helped each other out.”

Trolls Band Together premieres in theaters on Nov. 17.
