007 had better watch out! Johnny English 3 is broadcast this evening on CStar, an opportunity to ask the following question: is a 4th opus in the pipeline?
Forget James Bond, Mission Impossible or the Kingsmen! The greatest secret agent is him, Johnny English aka Rowan Atkinson!
The lamest secret agent on Earth!
After filming 3 parts of the adventures of the clumsiest secret agent between 2002 and 2018, has ex Mister Bean put his costume in the closet for good?
The three episodes of the franchise were a great success at the global box office, generating nearly $500 million in revenue. However, despite this score, no sequel has been officially announced.
Johnny English 4 in preparation?
However, according to ScreenDaily, Johnny English 4 is indeed in the pipeline and should even be filmed this summer in Malta and England. On the IMDb sitethe film is noted to be in pre-production with Rowan Atkinson attached to the project.
However, this information should be taken with a grain of salt because nothing has been officially revealed by Universal Studios and Working Title, owners of the license. Note that the time between each film has always been very long.
Between the first and second opus, we had to wait 9 years! As for the 3rd episode, it arrived 7 years after the second, that is to say in 2018. Consequently, we can always hope for a return of Johnny English around 2025!
Wonka and then leaves?
Rowan Atkinson, who stood out some time ago in the series Alone with the Bee on Netflix, will he don the bow tie of Her Majesty’s famous spy? Nothing is less sure ! The only film project Atkinson has starred in recently is Wonka with Timothée Chalamet.
During the promotion of the 3rd episode, the 69-year-old actor affirmed that it was indeed the last part of the comic spy saga. However, he said that you should never say never despite everything.
