A couple weeks ago, rumors were circulating that writer-director Jorma Taccone was developing MacGruber 2 with star Will Forte and co-writer John Solomon. However, Forte recently pumped the breaks on that idea during a press conference for That's My Boy.
"As for MacGruber 2, it's very much in the works. We're just... no, I'm kidding. Jorma mentioned it," Forte said according to Ain't It Cool News. "He was really tired one morning giving an interview, and he said something stupid about it. Believe me, we would love -- we had so much fun doing that. We're proud of it, and we jokingly talk about the sequel all the time. But I don't think anybody in their right mind would give us any money for it. If somebody gives us money for it --"
Interjected Andy Samberg, "I'll give you a thousand bucks right now."
"There is going to be a MacGruber 2 then," Forte said. "Funded by Andy Samberg."
"On a flipcam."
So there you have it. Unless Andy Samberg makes good on his word, it sounds like we'll have to keep on waiting for that MacGruber sequel. Nevertheless, Forte went on to express his gratitude to everyone who's embraced the first film and suggested that there may be "one alternate universe in a series of parallel universes" where MacGruber 2 gets made. Unfortunately, that's probably not our universe he's talking about.
