The role player latterly verbalise about the possibilities of a follow - up to the much - loved comedy , which he starred in alongside Will Ferrell as the titular characters . Despite keep hearsay about a subsequence being considered , and the fact that Reilly is invariably asked about it , it lamentably seems that there is no chance of it being take in the nigh future tense at least .

Step Brotherswas free in 2008 , with Reilly play Dale Doback and Ferrell as Brennan Huff . Both spoiled man - children , their worlds are hilariously rocked when their individual parent become a couple and they ’re squeeze to become brothers . take aim by Adam McKay , who also madeTalladega NightsandAnchorman , the plastic film get mixed review article but performed well domestically with over $ 100 m taken , although the oversea aggregate was just $ 27 m. However , in a manner exchangeable toAnchorman , the motion-picture show has since gone on to become something of a cult come to and a dearie with many for its anarchic humor and unripe characters .

If you care pizza , you desire more pizza . I understand masses really get into the approximation , but in terms of make something on the tabular array , no , there is n’t … It ’s so funny , it ’s so broad , but at the core of it are these very existent family issues , and I think that throw the motion picture really insurgent in a way . It has remain power . You know , we really entail it when we made that pic . "

Reilly also shares that a number of " great mind " for a sequel have been discussed between the two star and McKay over the year . These would admit one scenario whereone of the brothers gets married and becomes a forefather , much to the other ’s annoyance . Another idea would see the pair attempt to recede along with their parents . But regrettably for fans it seems that the ingredients just have n’t come together for a solid undertaking , and thankfully nobody wants to do a sub - received or hurried continuation . Reilly does dangle one carrot of hope though , as he remains open to recapitulate his use and enjoin , " I hope I do n’t age out of the possibleness . "

As far asStep Brothers 2goes , it ’s deserving have a bun in the oven in psyche that it took McKay and Ferrell 10 year to make the sequel toAnchorman , so a slim opening may always stay for Dale and Brennan to return as long as the stars and director are still concerned .
