Overview

• In an AARP Movies for Grownups interview published this week, Wright joked many original cast members would be in wheelchairs by the time a sequel could be made.
• She said the idea resurfaced during a post-30th anniversary Zoom with castmates who noted they’d been asked about returning.
• Wright recalled a warm on-set bond, describing nightly potluck dinners with Cary Elwes, Rob Reiner, Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest.
• The film’s lines still trail the cast, with Wright hearing “as you wish” from fans and Mandy Patinkin saying people quote his Inigo Montoya speech to him daily.
• Reunions have been event-focused rather than sequel steps, including a 2020 virtual script reading for a Democratic fundraiser, with the 40th anniversary arriving in 2027.
