Nothing has been confirmed at this level, however judging by the massive tease throughout the Again in Motion ending, there is definitely potential for a sequel, particularly with the tease on the ending. And whereas I might go on a protracted spiel about what I feel will occur within the follow-up to the remarkably well-liked Netflix film, I as an alternative need to concentrate on who I feel might play Cameron Diaz’s on-screen dad (bear in mind, his existence was teased simply earlier than the credit rolled?).
Contemplating the data offered all through the film about Diaz’s character, the truth that Glenn Shut performed her, and many years of watching all types of motion and spy franchises, I’ve give you a listing of what I feel are the very best choices. Listed here are my prime picks for Again in Motion 2 if the 2025 Netflix film will get the teased sequel.
Gary Oldman
Gary Oldman might be the obvious option to play Emily’s dad in Again in Motion 2, however that doesn’t imply he’s a nasty possibility. With loads of expertise on the planet of spies – Sluggish Horses is among the greatest Apple TV+ originals, and his efficiency in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is underrated – and the flexibility to stability humor, drama, and motion, this Academy Award winner can be super.
I’m simply over right here imagining not solely Oldman’s character and Emily having some form of reunion after many years aside, but additionally the potential awkwardness of Matt assembly a father-in-law he by no means knew existed. Hell, simply give me these two on some journey and I’ll be pleased.
Michael Douglas
Regardless that Emily’s mother, Ginny Curtis, performed by Glenn Shut, is British in Again in Motion, it’s by no means talked about if her father is a Brit or an American. That leaves the door open for all types of potentialities. One American actor I’d like to see enter the image is Michael Douglas, who can be completely unimaginable as a long-lost father who in all probability has extra methods up his sleeves than years away from his daughter.
I am not saying Again in Motion 2 needs to be some “what if” sequel to Deadly Attraction, through which Dan Gallagher and Alex Forrest had a daughter, however it might be nice to see Douglas and Shut share the display screen once more.
Pierce Brosnan
Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond used some ridiculous devices throughout his tenure as cinema’s most well-known spy, and a few of us have been ready greater than 20 years to see the beloved actor get again into the spy sport. I might like to see Brosnan present up as Emily’s dad in a potential Again in Motion sequel as a result of there are simply so many locations the spy comedy might go.
Think about this… Again in Motion 2: Dads in Motion, which might contain Brosnan and Jamie Foxx’s Matt having to workforce as much as save Emily and/or their youngsters (I’m over right here simply laughing at a former spy loosely primarily based on 007 coming to phrases with being a grandfather). It in all probability gained’t occur, however possibly I can manifest it.
Kevin Kline
Kevin Kline and Glenn Shut had been superb collectively in The Large Chill. Whereas a Again in Motion sequel in all probability isn’t the easiest way for the 2 to share the display screen once more after 40-plus years, it may very well be lots of enjoyable, albeit a little bit absurd. Kevin Kline is a type of actors who may be nice in absolutely anything, even when a film is a honker like Wild Wild West, and usually appears to have a superb time regardless of the challenge.
After watching Kline’s work on Disclaimer, certainly one of my favourite TV thrillers of 2024, I’m satisfied he might pull off a British accent in the event that they made the character from throughout the pond like Emily’s mother; they may additionally make him extra dramatic and deranged like his small-screen character.
Kurt Russell
There are lots of badass Kurt Russell characters from the actor’s decades-long profession, and I feel he’d be excellent for a foolish spy-action comedy like Again in Motion. If a sequel is made, it might be wild to see the person who introduced Snake Plisken and R.J. MacReady to life play a spy who has been doing God is aware of what for the previous 30 or so years.
He’s obtained the motion chops, he has nice comedic timing, and he’s charming as all hell, which makes Russell certainly one of my prime decisions for the function of Emily’s dad. I might like to see him buying and selling barbs with Cameron Diaz on display screen, flirting with Glenn Shut’s Ginny, or having awkward conversations with Nigel (Jamie Demetriou) about who’s the actual “granddad.”
Michael Keaton
The listing of nice Michael Keaton quotes might get a little bit bit longer if the previous Batman actor had been introduced in for Again in Motion 2 (Bat in Motion, anybody? No?). The prolific actor has a dynamic vary and a mystique that you simply don’t see all that a lot, and he has lengthy proven that he may be as loopy as may be at any time when wanted. That form of vitality can be excellent for a film like this.
With roles like Beetlejuice, Keaton has confirmed he may be humorous and lovable even when being a little bit evil and condescending, and all of these traits would mesh properly with the characters who’ve already been launched to date.
Antonio Banderas
I’m not simply together with Antonio Banderas as an possibility as a result of I feel it might make for an excellent Shrek reunion with Cameron Diaz, however I’m not saying that’s not one of many causes, both. It could be hilarious to see Princess Fiona and Puss in Boots channel a few of that vitality for a live-action film forward of the discharge of Shrek 5, and I feel they may make a humorous father-daughter pairing.
Banderas, who has been nice in motion motion pictures, comedies, dramas, thrillers, and just about each style (sure, even musicals), might add rather a lot to the solid of the Netflix film and provides audiences a hilarious new character.
Jonathan Pryce
After which there may be Jonathan Pryce, who has the appearing chops to carry his personal when sharing the display screen with Glenn Shut (as he confirmed in The Spouse). Like Gary Oldman, Pryce has expertise within the spy world, together with his most up-to-date providing additionally being Sluggish Horses. If he might channel that vitality and make it a little bit bit extra comedic, it may very well be hilarious. However on second thought, having Pryce be the straight man within the combine may very well be even funnier.
Whatever the course the character would take, Again in Motion 2 can be rather a lot higher with somebody like Pryce being part of the solid.
Who is aware of after we’ll see the Again in Motion sequel, or who’ll play Cameron Diaz’s on-screen dad? Whereas we wait, there are many nice 2025 motion pictures streaming for anybody with a Netflix subscription, with extra on the way in which.
