Buzzing News: Justin Theroux and Robert Downey Jr. Eager to Return for Tropic Thunder’s Possible Sequel

Date:

Key Takeaways:

– Tropic Thunder sequel could be on the horizon with Justin Theroux considering a return.
– Robert Downey Jr. might reprise his role as the intense method actor, Kirk Lazarus.
– Potential return of Tom Cruise as studio executive Verne has also been hinted.
– A careful approach is needed due to controversial elements of the original film.

Isn’t it exciting when we hear whispers of much-loved movies staging a comeback? Today we’re diving into the buzzing rumors about a possible sequel to the 2008 comedic blockbuster, Tropic Thunder.

Let’s start with the biggest slice of news: Justin Theroux, the co-writer and executive producer of Tropic Thunder, shared with CBR that he’s open to a sequel. More thrilling is the possibility of Robert Downey Jr. stepping back into the shoes of Kirk Lazarus, the overzealous method actor with a flair for transformations.

Remember how in Tropic Thunder, our three main actors- Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Downey-candidly find themselves no longer simulating war scenes for a movie, but truly battling for their lives? Who could forget those crazy turn of events?

Hints Dropped by Theroux and RDJ

While discussing his role in Tim Burton’s much-anticipated sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Theroux dropped a pretty intriguing hint. “I have some stuff already churning that I’d love to do, but I’ll keep it a secret,” he said mysteriously. It’s clear that he sees potential in a returning Tropic Thunder.

In another corner of Hollywood, Robert Downey Jr. has also shown interest when he heard that Tom Cruise might be returning as the hot-headed studio executive Les Grossman.

The Challenge of a Tropic Thunder Sequel

Despite the excitement, there are layers of complexity to handle if a sequel is to materialize. The original Tropic Thunder, directed by Ben Stiller, was a comic satire that pushed the envelope in many ways. From Robert Downey Jr’s blackface performance to Stiller’s caricatured portrayal of a character named Simple Jack, there were elements that didn’t sit well with today’s audiences.

A sensitively balanced sequel would mean navigating around these potential controversy mines. It’s a significant challenge but could provide an opportunity to create comedy with a respectful nod to the times we live in today.

As fans, we’re left with burning questions. Can Tropic Thunder return with all its original goofiness and charm? How would a sequel navigate the controversial elements from its predecessor? More importantly, are we ready to welcome a potentially stunning sequel to this comedy classic?

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this surprising news. Put on your critic’s hat and let us know what you think in comments. The prospect of a Tropic Thunder sequel surely makes for an exciting conversation starter!

Remember, in Hollywood, where there’s smoke, there’s usually a roaring fire! We’ll keep you updated on any new developments or official confirmations in this regard. Until then, keep the popcorn ready and fingers crossed.

To Conclude

It’s an exciting ride in the cinematic world, especially when your favorite characters might stage a comeback. But let’s not forget, every comeback has its challenges and bringing Tropic Thunder back on the big screen requires dealing with its controversial elements head-on!

So, let’s wait for more official news on this front. Meanwhile, keep dreaming, keep hoping, and let’s see what Hollywood has in the pipeline for us!
