Summary:
- Bradley Cooper is eager to return for “The Hangover 4” and values the camaraderie he shares with Todd Phillips, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms.
- However, he is skeptical of Phillips’ interest in directing another sequel. While the fourth film remains unconfirmed, if it were to happen, it would likely feature the original “Wolfpack,” which has been integral to the franchise’s success.
Despite shifting towards more serious roles recently, Bradley Cooper, the star of “Maestro,” remains open to revisiting his comedic roots as Phil in “The Hangover” series.
In a discussion on The New Yorker Radio Hour, Cooper expressed his affection for the creative team behind the hit comedy, saying, “I would probably do ‘Hangover 4’ in an instant. Just because I love Todd, I love Zach, I love Ed so much, I probably would.”
However, Cooper is skeptical about the likelihood of another sequel, attributing his doubt to the director’s interest. I don’t think Todd is ever going to do that,” he stated, referring to Todd Phillips.
The Hangover” tracks the chaotic adventures of Phil (Cooper), Stu Price (Ed Helms), Alan Garner (Zach Galifianakis), and Doug Billings (Justin Bartha) as they travel to Las Vegas for Doug’s bachelor party, only to wake up with no memory of the previous night and Doug missing.
The film was a massive box office success, earning over $469 million worldwide and leading to two sequels: “The Hangover Part II” in 2011 and “The Hangover Part III” in 2013.
Zach Galifianakis humorously speculated about a potential fourth film in a 2021 interview with Extra, saying, “Maybe if they made it a Pixar version… a family-friendly version. I don’t think anybody has been thinking about that.”
Who is in The Hangover 4 cast?
Although “The Hangover 4” has not yet been greenlit and therefore lacks a confirmed cast, it’s hard to imagine the film without the original “Wolfpack.” This beloved group includes Alan, portrayed by Zach Galifianakis; Phil, played by Bradley Cooper; Stu, brought to life by Ed Helms; and Doug, characterized by Justin Bartha.
Should a fourth installment come to fruition, it would likely reunite these central characters, maintaining the core ensemble that fans have come to adore.
