Ben Stiller has dished an exciting update about Meet the Parents 4.
In the fourth installment, Stiller, Teri Polo, and Robert De Niro, are reprising their roles as Greg Focker, Pamela Byrnes-Focker, and Jack Byrnes respectively. Additionally, Ariana Grande also joining the cast.
Speaking at the 25th anniversary screening of the original movie, as per The Hollywood Reporter, he said, "I think what spurred the idea was that at this point in time, I'm the age that Bob (De Niro) was when we did the first movie.”
"And there was this sort of mirror to the first film in terms of the fact that my kids are grown. And, yeah, that my kid, one of my kids, is thinking about introducing his person to the family.”
Sharing his feelings for the movie, the Zoolander actor told the audience, "It's exciting that we're going to do it again and be together.”
"And I think life informs everything that's happened in the last 25 years, and it's been a while since we did the last one... So, it's kind of great to look at it as a sort of new thing.”
“But of course, there's all these great memories, and I feel like our connections are still there when we get back together. It's just all baked in there," Ben Stiller added before exiting the conversation.
Meet the Parents 4 is set to be released on June 30, 2025.
