Wedding Crashers 2 Just Took A Major Step Forward
Two decades after Wedding Crashers, Owen Wilson says sequel talks are very much alive — and the long-awaited Part 2 could finally be on the horizon.
Wedding Crashers 2 is the sequel that just will not sit down. Nearly 20 years after the original, Owen Wilson says there is real movement again — script, conversations, all of it — even if the studio has not stamped anything official yet.
What Owen Wilson just told Collider
"Yeah, there is a script and David Dobkin, who directed the first one, has been working on it, and we have been talking about it. It has been nice talking to Vince, and it is one of those movies that really seemed to connect with people. If we can come up with something we think could be great, then I am sure we will do it."
Wilson dropped that update to Collider's Steve Weintraub, and the key part is this: director David Dobkin has been actively working on a script, and Wilson and Vince Vaughn are in the mix on what it would be. Translation: this is not just a random 'we should do it sometime' comment. They are actually kicking the tires.
Isla Fisher has been ready for a while (literally)
Earlier, Isla Fisher said she once went as far as getting a US work visa to film the sequel years ago — which is a surprisingly specific step for a movie that never shot. She also suggested the holdup might be Wilson's schedule, and that Dobkin and Vaughn are interested. Her take was basically: all the ingredients are there, they just need to cook the thing.
Quick refresher: the 2005 original
Wedding Crashers hit theaters in 2005 with Wilson and Vaughn as best friends who crash weddings for casual hookups until one of them catches real feelings and everything gets messy. The supporting cast was stacked: Isla Fisher, Rachel McAdams, Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour, and Bradley Cooper, among others.
So, is this actually happening?
Short answer: not yet. Even with Wilson saying there is a script and Fisher signaling interest, nobody has officially announced a green light. It is closer than a rumor, but not a done deal.
- There is a script Dobkin has been working on, per Wilson.
- Wilson and Vaughn have been talking about it; the idea is still being shaped.
- Fisher once secured a US visa for a planned shoot that did not happen, and says Dobkin and Vaughn are in.
- The original film launched in 2005 with Wilson, Vaughn, Fisher, McAdams, Walken, Seymour, and Cooper.
- Despite the momentum, the sequel has not been officially confirmed.
If they crack the story in a way that feels worth it — Wilson's words — they will roll. Until then, consider this a hopeful, credible nudge rather than a set date on the calendar.
