Vince Vaughn Shares His Current Stance on a Wedding Crashers Sequel
Vince Vaughn says he is open to a Wedding Crashers sequel, but only if the story is strong enough to justify bringing back the classic duo.
Article Summary
- Vince Vaughn is open to a Wedding Crashers sequel if the story is strong and fresh enough.
- The original Wedding Crashers film became a huge comedy hit with enduring fan popularity.
- Sequel talks have floated for years, but nothing moves forward without a compelling new angle.
- Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn's chemistry remains the key if a Wedding Crashers 2 is made.
It has been more than 20 years since Wedding Crashers turned Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson into one of the unforgettable comedy duos of the 2000s. Released in July 2005, the film follows Jeremy and John, two Washington, D.C. divorce mediators who spend their weekends slipping into receptions under fake names, drinking for free, and flirting their way through the dance floor until someone catches on. Their routine finally spirals when they crash the wedding of the U.S. Treasury Secretary's daughter and get pulled into a weekend at the family's estate, where Jeremy gets trapped by an intense new admirer, and John starts falling for Claire, the one person in the room who makes the usual plan feel a little more real.
And almost instantly, the movie became a genuine breakout. Domestically, the film grossed about $209.3 million, and it finished at $288.5 million worldwide, making it huge numbers for an R-rated comedy in that era. It also landed well with both critics and audiences. Rotten Tomatoes currently has it at 75% on the Tomatometer and 70% on the audience meter, and its staying power is hard to miss every time the movie gets rediscovered or re-quoted online.
Because the premise is so easy to revisit, the idea of a sequel has followed the film for years, even when there has never been a clear moment where it felt imminent. Vaughn has now weighed in again, and his stance is basically that he is open, but only if there is a real reason to do it.
Vince Vaughn is Still Open to a Wedding Crashers Sequel
He told E! News, "Well, there's always been discussions about it. I would, you know, if there's a good story, it's always fun to do something, but I think you'd need a really good idea and not just jump into it." He added that it "could be fun to get back with those guys if everything worked out," which basically feels like a careful way of saying yes without promising anything.
If a follow-up ever happens, it would likely lean on the same mix that made the first one work, the Vaughn and Wilson chemistry, a premise that stays simple, and a great supporting bench. The original cast included Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Bradley Cooper, Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour, and more.
All things considered, do you want a Wedding Crashers sequel, or does the original feel like it should stay a one-and-done situation?
