Adam McKay is still planning to make 'Step Brothers 2'
Adam McKay hasn’t forgotten about Step Brothers 2— it’s just that he doesn’t want to make it yet.
Earlier this year, McKay was at one point the front runner to land the directing job for Ant-Man after Edgar Wright departed. Those plans didn't come to fruition, but McKay did end up getting the writing gig on Ant-Man, so recently he's been busy penning that screenplay.
With his focus currently on that Marvel produced film, McKay has made it clear he hasn't shelved his planned Step Brothers 2 movie.
“We have a whole story, an outline, that we’re happy with,” he said. "We were ready to go, and you know the story of how we got the call on Anchorman 2. We’re not gonna do it now ‘cause we just did a sequel, I don’t wanna get into the sequel business too much. It was kind of a novelty to do one of them and it was certainly very interesting and I had never done anything like it. So I want to go make some original movies—or you know, The Big Short is an adaptation but do some different stuff. But who knows? Two to three years, three to four years. I mean the funny thing with ‘Step Brothers’ is if those guys are in their 50’s it still works, so we could easily return to that, but for now no sequels."
