The Hangover became an instant classic for many moviegoers when it first hit the big screen back in 2009. Its success spawned two sequels, The Hangover Part II in 2011 and The Hangover Part III in 2013. Since then, however, the movies have lived in the past, as its stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms have gone on to bigger and better projects in their careers.
Still, that doesn't mean they're opposed to reprising their roles in the Hangover universe. When asked about the possibility of The Hangover Part IV, Helms told People magazine just how much he enjoyed the experience and if he's open to doing it all again.
"I mean, Bradley, Zach, [director] Todd [Phillips]—these are some of my favorite people on the planet, so I would do anything with them," he said. “Oh my God, I would do anything with those guys."
Helms' confirmation that he's open to revisiting the Hangover series comes days after Bradley Cooper echoed a similar sentiment.
"I would probably do Hangover IV in an instant," the Maestro star said on The New Yorker Radio Hour. "Just because I love Todd, I love Zach, I love Ed so much, I probably would." As for now, though, it's just chatter, as nothing is in the works. "I don’t think Todd is ever going to do that," he admitted.
The three existing Hangover movies introduced a kooky cast of characters played by actors that have since become household names. Ken Jeong, for example, went on to appear in dozens of movies and TV shows and currently sits as a judge on The Masked Singer. If The Hangover Part IV were to ever come to be, it would need to include some of these familiar faces to make it an easy re-entry back into its wild world of alcohol-fueled antics.
