MacGruber 2 Is Reportedly In the Works

Former Saturday Night Live cast member Will Forte revealed this week that getting a MacGruber 2 made is his top priority following production on his new FOX series Last Man on Earth.

"It seems like we have a realistic shot at getting [MacGruber 2] made," Forte told TheWrap. "We have a loose outline of the first couple of acts, which we're really excited about. So we've just got to flesh it out a little more."

"If [The Last Man on Earth] were to ever be successful enough to get a second season, we'd probably have to wait until after that season to make it," he added. "If the show isn't successful enough to do that, we'd probably jump in right away.

In either case, rumors of a second film based on the cult-hit MacGyver parody have been rattling around the Internet and Hollywood since about five minutes after the first one came out.

Not much is known about the substance of the film, although TheWrap suggests that most or all of the original cast will return for the sequel and a recent report that the film had already finished shooting has been denied.
