Danny DeVito Has Shared A Devastating Update For Twins 2

If there’s one star who has kept us laughing for years, it’s Danny DeVito. After all, the actor has been in almost 100 movies and been behind some of the best comedies the world has ever seen. Of course, one of the most famous is 1988’s comedy ‘Twins,’ where Danny took center stage alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.

For decades, people have been calling for a sequel to the film. After all, it saw the pair bring the most unlikely twins to life and gave us some of the most memorable moments of Danny’s career. The problem? Danny DeVito has shared a devastating update for ‘Twins 2.’

Twins 2 was seemingly being developed in 2021

‘Twins’ first came out in 1988, but the world instantly wanted more from Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger, as the two stars bounced off each other in ways so many of us never imagined. The pair played brothers who were separated at birth, with much of the comedy focusing on their endless list of differences. However, we were in for some good news in 2021 when the world learned that ‘Twins 2’ was actually in development. This time, it would be called ‘Triplets,’ but don’t get your hopes up just yet.

Danny DeVito shared a devastating update about Twins 2

When talking to GQ, Danny DeVito admitted that he and Arnold “want to work together,” but they missed the boat making ‘Twins 2’ “because he became governor.” Of course, in true Danny style, the actor joked that they should have worked on the movie instead of Arnold working on his political career, even adding he’s “way stronger than [Arnold] is.” However, there could be some good news in it all. Danny continued to admit that they have “a little thing going” that they have “been chatting about.” The actor says they “have a good time together” and “compliment each other in a lot of ways,” which could mean we have some DeVito-Schwarzenegger content on the way after all.

The director of the original recently passed away

Ivan Reitman was the brains behind the original ‘Twins’ movie, but sadly, he lost his life in February 2022. According to Arnold Schwarzenegger, losing Ivan was a large part of why ‘Twins 2’ is never going to happen. The star said as much when talking to Entertainment Weekly, where Arnold admitted that Ivan’s son, Jason, “put a hold on it” as soon as his dad passed away. To make matters even more devastating, Arnold confessed they had the financing and “wanted to do it really badly” before Jason stated, “I never liked the idea,” and pulled the plug the first chance he got.

Triplets was meant to see Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger back together

As if all of that wasn’t enough, it turns out that Ivan Reitman had ‘Twins 2’ all written and ready to go before he passed away. The movie was going to be called ‘Triplets’ which meant, of course, they needed another star. That role was meant to go to Tracy Morgan, with the part being specifically for the actor. Adding yet another unlikely brother to it all was certainly going to make room for some hilarious moments, but it seems it’s something we will most likely never see come to life.

Danny DeVito has shared a devastating update for ‘Twins 2,’ and while some are still hopeful that things could change once again, there’s a good chance this is a sequel we will just never see hit the big screen.
