The “Hangover” films made Bradley Cooper a big star. The mime can also imagine a fourth part of the successful series.
It has now been over ten years since “Hangover 3”, the last part of the popular comedy series, was released in cinemas. Many of those involved in front of and behind the scenes have since turned to other projects.
Bradley Cooper: “I would probably do ‘Hangover 4’ in a heartbeat”
Despite all of this, Cooper can also imagine a return to the hilarious world of “The Hangover”. To guest on the podcast “The New Yorker Radio Hour” The 48-year-old revealed on Friday, November 24, “I would probably do ‘Hangover 4’ in a heartbeat, just because I love Todd, Zach and Ed so much.” By those addressed, Cooper of course means his “Hangover 1-3” co-stars Zach Galifianakis (54) and Ed Helms (49) as well as director Todd Phillips (52).
Does “Hangover 4” fail because of the director?
According to Cooper, the latter could also represent the biggest hurdle for a continuation of the film series. Because regarding the director of the “Hangover” trilogy, the mime added during his podcast appearance: “I don’t think Todd will ever do that.” The background to Cooper’s statement may be that filmmaker Phillips achieved great success in 2019 with the two Oscar-winning DC film adaptation “Joker” – with Joaquin Phoenix (49) in the lead role.
For the director, who started his great Hollywood career with classic comedies such as “Old School” (2003) and “Starsky & Hutch” (2004), “Joker” also represented a certain change of direction in his artistic work. Phillips is currently busy with the sequel “Joker: Folie à Deux”, which is scheduled to appear in cinemas in October 2024. Whether the 52-year-old filmmaker will then agree to “Hangover 4” seems questionable.
