Triplets – Tracy Morgan joins Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito for the Twins sequel

Ivan Reitman, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are back for a sequel to Twins. This time they will be joined by Tracy Morgan who will be another long lost brother.

“Twins was quite successful, and some years after, this whole thing started with Arnold meeting Eddie Murphy, and the suggestion came from one of them,” Reitman told Deadline. “It was, ‘I should be a triplet, that could be a very funny comedy.’ We started a script with Eddie, and after the success he had with Amazon Prime on Coming 2 America, he got himself booked up heavily. And we knew we were going to make it at the beginning of next year. I’d been good friends with Tracy Morgan for a long time and always thought he was one of the funniest men in the world. I thought he would make a terrific triplet, and we rewrote the whole script for him. Now, we’ll go out and try and put the money together and get it made.”

“I haven’t directed in a couple years, but Arnold kept saying, ‘c’mon, we had such a great time.’ I just called him in Budapest and he’s so excited to see how people respond to the reel as we send it out. The initial reaction has been very strong, and how young Arnold and Danny look and how great the chemistry is with Tracy. I had a great time doing the first one, and this is going to be fun.”

Reitman also talked about the plot for the new film.

I always enjoyed Twins and even though it is 33 years since that was out, I am still up for seeing Arnie, Danny and Tracy get up to some shenanigans.

I talked about a sequel for Twins back in an episode of the After The Ending podcast.
