Summary

  • Wedding Crashers 2 is not confirmed, but an original star has hinted at a potential sequel in the works.
  • The sequel is not green-lit yet, with no script written, but work is possibly happening behind the scenes.
  • The original main cast, including Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, may return, but nothing is confirmed yet.

Though little news has surfaced about the film, Wedding Crashers 2 is a sequel that fans have been wanting to see for years. Released in 2005, Wedding Crashers co-stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as carefree playboys make a sport out of sneaking into weddings and romancing the attendees. However, when a high-profile wedding catches their attention, their fun-loving ways are put to the ultimate test. Though hardly high art, Wedding Crashers succeeds due to the unmistakable chemistry of its lead actors.

Wedding Crashers was an unmitigated success that garnered decent reviews and even managed to gross nearly $300 million against a tiny budget (via Box Office Mojo). This dual success is rare in the sex comedy genre, and though the movies can be profitable, they rarely get the stamp of approval from critics. Though co-stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson aren't the Hollywood megastars they once were, a sequel could reunite the cast and pull the nostalgic heartstrings of audiences who loved the nearly 20-year-old movie when it first debuted.

As the first film approaches its 20th anniversary, the latest news sees an original star discuss Wedding Crashers 2. Though he couldn't offer much by way of specifics, Todd actor Keir O'Donnell cryptically said "I have heard rumors, I've heard rumors of something floating around." Though that's hardly proof that a sequel is on the way, it is a good sign that something is happening behind the scenes to potentially bring Wedding Crashers 2 to reality.

Though reports varied throughout the first few years of the 2020s, Owen Wilson shared an update on Wedding Crashers 2 which confirmed a script hadn't been written yet. With that in mind, the long-awaited sequel is not confirmed and hasn't been given the green light by any studio or production company. However, Keir O'Donnell's latest update does suggest that work is being done behind the scenes.

Who Could Return In The Sequel?

Since the project hasn't been given the green light, it is impossible to say exactly who will return for Wedding Crashers 2. However, it can be assumed that co-stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn will reprise their roles as John and Jeremy, respectively. The chemistry between the pair was the anchor that held the entire film down, and it wouldn't be a continuation without their friendship. Likewise, stars like Isla Fisher are game for Wedding Crashers 2, which suggests the entire ensemble could return if the movie is eventually made.

What Could Happen When The Crashers Return?

The story is perhaps the most challenging part of a Wedding Crashers sequel and the first film neatly wraps up their character's arcs. With John and Jeremy on the way towards settling down, the sequel will need to devise some clever means for them to return to their rough and rowdy ways. Perhaps they have an adult-aged child who is getting married and must take on a pair of younger wedding crashers who intend to ruin their child's big day. Whatever happens in the sequel, Wedding Crashers 2 will have big shoes to fill if it ever gets made.
