Will There Be A Twins 2?

In 2012, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed "Twins 2" was in development with Eddie Murphy attached to play the third long lost brother of Julius and Vincent. In fact, the film's working title is "Triplets." The premise is that Julius and Vincent's mother Mary actually gave birth to triplets, but the men don't find out they have another brother until they're in their 70s. We can only guess that hilarity and brotherly bonding will ensue from there.

Since the 2012 announcement, there's been little progress toward the sequel actually making it to the big screen (or, more likely, a streaming site). However, the actors have offered frequent updates, and they seem to still be excited about the potential film. In February, DeVito told CinemaBlend the script is still being hammered out, and he's hopeful the project will move forward.

"Yes. Yeah, we're working on it," he told the outlet. "It's been a while I know, but we're developing the screenplay right now. That's going to happen... hopefully."

DeVito's "hopefully" does suggest "Triplets" isn't a done deal, but at least fans of the original can rest easy knowing the project hasn't been permanently lost in development hell just yet. While filming is far from underway, someone in Hollywood is still trying to make "Twins 2" happen, and if the stars align just right, they might just be successful in getting the (very) long-awaited sequel made.
