The Status of 'We're Still the Millers': Sequel Updates and Doubts in 2025

The possibility of a sequel, often rumored to be titled We're Still the Millers, has been a persistent topic since the original film's success. As of 2025, the news is the most concrete it has ever been, though not without its complications and conflicting reports from the cast.

The Screenwriter and Studio's Plan

The strongest indication that a sequel is in active development comes from the studio. New Line Cinema has reportedly hired screenwriter Adam Sztykiel, known for his work on *Rampage* and *Black Adam*, to pen the script for the follow-up film. This move confirms that the creative wheels are turning, and the studio is actively pursuing a second installment to capitalize on the original's enduring popularity.

Will Poulter's Surprising Comments

Despite the studio's efforts, the cast remains skeptical. Will Poulter, whose character Kenny was a fan-favorite, provided a grim but candid update on the sequel's prospects in 2025. When asked about a second film, Poulter acknowledged that a script was written, but expressed doubt that it would actually happen. His comments, while not a definitive "no," suggest that scheduling and securing the entire A-list cast—especially with Sudeikis and Aniston's current commitments—is a major logistical hurdle.

Kathryn Hahn’s Revelation

Further adding to the sequel's mysterious development is a comment from Kathryn Hahn, who played the hilarious neighborhood wife, Edie Fitzgerald. Hahn was reportedly "stunned" to learn that a sequel script had been written, suggesting that the development process has been highly secretive, even from key supporting cast members. This indicates that while the script exists, formal casting and production are still in the preliminary stages.

Behind the Scenes: 7 Amazing Facts That Cemented the Film's Legacy

Beyond the sequel talk, the original We're the Millers remains a comedy touchstone, largely due to its memorable scenes and the incredible chemistry between the actors. Here are some key facts and entities that highlight the film's production and impact:

1. The Wilmington Connection

Despite the story taking the Millers from Denver, Colorado, down to Mexico, the majority of the film was actually shot in and around Wilmington, North Carolina. This coastal city provided the diverse backdrops necessary for the road trip, proving that Hollywood movie magic can turn a North Carolina town into a bustling Mexican border crossing.

2. The Improv Factor

The director, Rawson Marshall Thurber, encouraged a significant amount of improvisation, especially from Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston, who both have strong comedy backgrounds. The freedom to improvise is credited with creating some of the film's most natural and laugh-out-loud moments, particularly in the interactions between David and Rose.

3. The 'Wipe It Off' Scene

One of the most iconic and frequently quoted scenes in the film involves Kenny (Will Poulter) singing TLC's "Waterfalls" and later being told to "Wipe it off!" by his fake sister Casey (Emma Roberts). This moment became an instant meme and is a perfect example of the film's blend of cringe and heartwarming comedy.

4. The $270 Million Surprise

Against its modest $37 million production budget, the film's massive $270 million worldwide gross was a significant surprise for Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema. This financial success is the primary driver for the current sequel discussions, as it demonstrated the enduring appeal of the R-rated road trip comedy genre.

5. The Director's Comedy Pedigree

Director Rawson Marshall Thurber is a major entity in modern comedy. Before *We're the Millers*, he directed the hit film *DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story*. After the Millers, he went on to direct Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the action-comedies *Central Intelligence* and *Red Notice*, showcasing his ability to blend action and humor on a large scale.

6. The Tarantula Scare

In a memorable sequence, Kenny is bitten by a tarantula. Will Poulter confirmed in interviews that the tarantula used in the scene was real, adding a layer of genuine fear to the comedic moment, though the actual "bite" was, of course, simulated.

7. The Fitzgeralds: Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn

The supporting cast, Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn, who played the overly friendly Fitzgerald couple, are major comedic entities in their own right. Their scenes are often cited as highlights of the film, providing a perfect comedic foil to the Millers' internal chaos. Hahn's recent surprise about the sequel script suggests the studio is keen to bring back these fan-favorite characters.
