The original Wedding Crashers—about a pair of BFF bros (Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn) who hunt for easy hookups at strangers’ nuptials until they meet their respective romantic matches in two beautiful sisters (Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher)—was a major blockbuster, earning more than $200 million at the U.S. box office (and more than $288 million worldwide) on a $40 million budget. It became one of the highest-grossing R-rated comedies ever and turned Wilson and Vaughn into one of the most beloved and hilarious onscreen duos in recent history—all of which makes it quite strange that a followup flick never happened… until, it seems, now! Here’s everything we know about a possible Wedding Crashers 2, including which stars could return for the sequel and when fans may finally get to see it.
Will there be a Wedding Crashers sequel?
Rumors about a WC2 have floated around Tinseltown for years, but just in the past week or so, there have been several signs that another film in the franchise is coming to fruition. The latest murmurs started in early June on Twitter when a pair of showbiz news and gossip accounts both claimed that the sequel was officially in production. Another sign that it’s a go? Wedding Crashers 2 actually has an IMDb page now!
Will Owen Wilson be in Wedding Crashers 2?
It seems Wilson will indeed reprise his role in Wedding Crashers 2! In fact, part of the reason why WC2 rumors are buzzing lately is because Wilson has been making the press rounds to promote Loki on Disney+, leading to more talk than ever before about Wedding Crashers 2. For example, Wilson told Variety this week, “If we all agree that we have a good idea, then we’re trying to make something good. But it’s sort of figuring out what that idea would be and if we think we could do something worthwhile.”
Will Vince Vaughn be in Wedding Crashers 2?
Vaughn will apparently be back for the sequel as well. Back in November 2020, Vaughn revealed that discussions were finally underway about reprising his and Wilson’s respective WeddingCrashers roles of Jeremy Grey and John Beckwith. “Just recently, we’ve been more seriously discussing a sequel to Crashers. There was an idea that was a good idea…for the first time, there’s kind of an original thought,” he told Yahoo! Entertainment. “So that was the last issue. We had a lot of fun [making the first one], and I think it’s always great if you can go make a movie with people that you like and have a good time doing that.”
Will Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher be in the Wedding Crashers sequel?
According to Production Weekly, Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisherwill each return for Wedding Crashers 2 as Claire and Gloria Cleary. In fact, Fisher sparked rumors of a Wedding Crashers sequel all the way back in November 2016 when she appeared on NBC’s TODAY. Fisher said she “bumped into Vince Vaughn at a party” and he told her they were working on a sequel, adding, “I’m really excited to see what happened to Gloria!”
What is Wedding Crashers 2 about?
Though plot details have yet to be unveiled for Wedding Crashers 2, director DavidDobkin—who helmed the original WC and is reportedly back for WC2—told Colliderin June 2020 that he was interested in examining John and Jeremy as they age and mature, which is part of why he waited so long to even entertain the idea of revisiting the characters. “None of us wanted to do a retread of the same movie again,” he explained. “[Then] I thought about it and I’m like, ‘Well, I’d be curious what it’d be like for guys in their late 40s who end up being single again and have to go back out in the world,’” he said. “What a weird, difficult, challenging story that is. And as long as there’s a real story in the middle of it, to me, it can be a movie.”
When is Wedding Crashers 2 shooting?
According to Twitter account @FilmUpdates, Wedding Crashers 2 will begin production this August in Puerto Rico. However, Wilson told Variety that the film is still in its earliest stages, noting, “Some people are saying that, ‘You guys are going to be going in August,’ and that’s not right.”
When is the Wedding Crashers sequel coming out?
No release date has been set for Wedding Crashers 2 just yet.
How can I watch the Wedding Crashers sequel?
Wedding Crashers 2 is reportedly coming to HBO Max; it’s unclear whether the film will also have a theatrical release.
