Two Iconic Actors Share the Stage Again
In a heartwarming reunion, Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger thrilled fans as they appeared together on Broadway in the play ‘I Need That.’
Spectacle with Heart
Schwarzenegger took to social media to express his excitement, captioning a photo of the two actors, “My brother! It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in ‘I Need That.’ He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute – one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!! I can’t wait to work together again.”
Rekindling the Chemistry
The duo previously starred in the 1988 buddy comedy ‘Twins,’ where they portrayed genetically engineered twins. The sight of the beloved siblings on stage together once again delighted fans, who couldn’t resist making references to their iconic movie.
Tantalizing Possibilities
Commenters expressed their desire for a ‘Twins’ sequel, and it seems that the actors share the sentiment. In an interview with GQ, DeVito revealed that he and Schwarzenegger had been discussing potential projects. While a ‘Twins’ sequel was missed due to Schwarzenegger’s political career, the actors have another collaboration in the works.
Failed Sequel and New Ventures
In recent years, a sequel titled ‘Triplets’ was in development, but unfortunate circumstances led to its cancellation. Despite this setback, DeVito and Schwarzenegger’s bond remains strong, with Schwarzenegger expressing his joy in working with DeVito on a new project.
Continued Collaboration
While details of their next venture are still under wraps, it is worth noting that DeVito and Schwarzenegger previously collaborated in the 1994 film ‘Junior.’ Their on-screen chemistry has proven to be a winning formula, leaving fans eager for more.
