July 7th 2024.
Guess who's back? It's none other than the smooth-talking, charismatic Daniel Cleaver! This news is sure to make all rom-com fans swoon with excitement. Our first glimpse of Hugh Grant reprising his role in the Bridget Jones franchise has finally arrived.
But wait, this is not a drill! The charming rogue himself is making a comeback in the next installment of the series, which will once again follow the trials and tribulations of our favorite London singleton. Titled "Mad About The Boy," the movie is set to be released on Valentine's Day next year, and will be the fourth movie in the Bridget Jones series, following "Bridget Jones's Diary," "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," and "Bridget Jones's Baby."
Of course, we can't have a Bridget Jones movie without the talented Renée Zellweger. The 55-year-old actress will be reprising her role as the iconic British cultural icon, known for her chaotic and comedic misadventures. From sliding down fireman's poles for Sit Up Britain to getting imprisoned in Thailand, Bridget always manages to find herself in hilarious and unpredictable situations.
We've now been treated to some on-set photos of Renée with Hugh himself, and it looks like there's a cozy reunion in store for Bridget and Daniel. However, this time around, there are no see-through tops or mini skirts in sight. Instead, the pair can be seen sharing a sweet hug, bringing back a flood of memories for fans of the original toxic on-screen couple.
Hugh, now 63, looks as suave as ever as he effortlessly slips back into the role of the charming yet devious womanizer. Donning a navy suit and lilac shirt, the award-winning rom-com star gets up close and personal with Renée's Bridget, even leaning in for a possible kiss. But things quickly become heated between the two, as Hugh's character becomes animated and it seems another classic Bridget and Daniel exchange is about to take place.
After the intense moment, Hugh casually strolls off to his flashy red sports car, a nod to the flashy wheels he used to cruise around in 20 years ago. Meanwhile, Renée, dressed in a vibrant green dress with a grey cardigan, can't help but stare at him longingly. In between takes, Hugh can be seen chatting with two young children, presumably either his character's or Bridget's own children.
But what does the future hold for Bridget and Daniel? It seems like the playboy is back to stir up trouble once again, as die-hard fans will know that Bridget's son is actually Colin Firth's character, Mark Darcy. Unfortunately, Colin won't be returning for "Bridget Jones 4," as his character has been killed off. But don't worry, Daniel is very much alive and causing chaos once again, as was confirmed in 2016, much to the delight of fans.
Along with Bridget and Daniel, "Mad About The Boy" will also introduce new characters, including One Day star Leo Woodall and Oscar nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor. It's rumored that Leo, 27, will play Bridget's love interest, following the plot of the original novel written by Helen Fielding and released in 2013. In the book, Bridget entertains two possible new love interests: Roxster, a 30-year-old toy boy, and her child's disapproving teacher, Mr. Wallaker.
Of course, with Hugh causing trouble once again, it seems like we have more of a love square than a love triangle on our hands. According to sources, Bridget will be a "real cougar" in the new movie and will be seen starting a relationship with a much younger character played by Leo. It seems like the 55-year-old single mom will be navigating the world of social media and dating apps after the death of Mark.
But don't worry, Hugh Grant is back as Daniel Cleaver, and there's sure to be a love triangle between Bridget's old flame and her much younger new love interest. Renée is reportedly "excited about bringing Bridget back" and "adores the character so much," so fans can rest assured that the movie will be handled with love and care.
As we eagerly await the release of "Mad About The Boy" on Valentine's Day 2024, we can't help but wonder what other hilarious and chaotic adventures Bridget will find herself in this time. But for now, we'll just have to wait and see. Are you as excited for the new Bridget Jones movie as we are? Let us know in the comments!
