Breaking News! Will Forte Announces There Will Be No Sequel to "MacGruber" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 09-01-2010, 10:52 AM

You can finally wipe the sweat from your brow because Will Forte has confirmed that he is not exiting Saturday Night Live to shoot a sequel to his box-office flop MacGruber. Instead, the actor will spend his retirement “playing volleyball and drinking beer.” In an interview published yesterday, Forte revealed that he decided to leave after seven seasons because he “turned 40 and started getting very… introspective.” That being said, Forte is totally open to returning to Studio 8H to reprise the crafty character for a few minutes. “If they ever wanted me to come back and do a ‘MacGruber” for one episode,’ Forte offered, “I would.”

he's probably planning to do a movie for The Falconer instead.

I think a MacGruber sequel would've worked had they gotten Betty White.

I actually plan on seeing it when it comes out on DVD.

I try to see everything Val Kilmer does, so I'm curious about his villain role in this.

I also want to see if this really was as bad as everyone said.

Well, I guess I have to be the guy who's bummed to hear this news. A bunch of my buddies and I decided to rent MacGruber from Movies On Demand after the Raiders game turned into a debacle, and we ended up cracking up through the whole thing (especially at Kristen Wiig's line about sticking it where the sun doesn't shine)! Being able to rent it from Movies On Demand without having to leave the house was really convenient too since we'd been drinking pretty aggressively during the game too. Definitely check MacGruber out on Movies On Demand if you haven't seen it yet - there may not be another one, but the one that's already out there is hilarious! (I'm working with Movies On Demand, so if you have any questions, just ask!)
