It's almost hard to believe the same guy who spent a movie trolling through random weddings just to find hookups alongside Vince Vaughn is now playing an important figure in a time travel agency, but it's still admittedly not the strangest thing to ever happen to Owen Wilson. But aside from his role in the new Disney Plus series Loki, Wilson is still looking toward the horizon, and maybe back at a particularly fondly remembered role from New Line Cinema's Wedding Crashers.

Fans have been clamoring for a sequel to the raunchy 2005 comedy Wedding Crashers for some time now, and its stars have definitely taken notice. Wilson has reportedly already signed on to film a continuation along with co-stars Vaughn, Now You See Me's Isla Fisher, and Doctor Strange's Rachel McAdams, but things might not be as clear-cut as they sound. Despite rumors that production is set to begin this year, Wilson seems to have some other indications about the whole thing.

"Some people are saying that you guys are going to be going in August, and that's not right," Wilson said when speaking with Variety about his role in Loki. He went on to suggest that he's been talking with Vaughn about working on something, but that the process hasn't gone any further than that as of yet. It's probably not all that surprising to hear, since a proper Wedding Crashers sequel likely would be getting a lot more buzz right now if it was, indeed, in production. But if anyone knows what's actually going on, it's probably one of the movie's leads.

That isn't to say the idea is doomed to remain in limbo like Knights of the Old Republic 3. Wilson also appears hopeful they can pull it off, but only if it's something he and the rest of the cast think will be worth their time. "If we all agree that we have a good idea, then we're trying to make something good," he clarified. "'But it's sort of figuring out what that idea would be and if we think we could do something worthwhile." So if his words are anything to go by, it seems very likely that not only is a Wedding Crashers sequel not in production, but the idea itself isn't even past the planning stages.

This goes in line with director David Dobkin's comments last year about a Wedding Crashers sequel, reiterating that the stars didn't just want to do a retread of the same idea. It certainly makes sense that all these big names wouldn't want to just pull a Hangover and keep repeating the same idea over and over. After all, all 4 of the leads have maintained some pretty strong careers to this day. They can afford to be a little picky about the projects they take on.

Also, it's probably good to remember that, once again, Wedding Crashers is about two guys showing up uninvited to weddings under assumed names in order to have one-night stands with the women there. No judgment on people for enjoying a screwy comedy, but this isn't exactly a high-brow concept. So if or when a sequel does eventually happen, maybe it would be best to not take it all that seriously and just enjoy it for what it is.

Wedding Crashers is available to stream on HBO Max.
