Ariana Grande to play significant role in the upcoming project

Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro will be reuniting for the fourth sequel of their popular 2000s film Meet the Parents.

Stiller is all set to reprise his role as Greg Focker.

While speaking about the upcoming movie, the Zoolander actor opened that he felt it was the right time to make Meet the Parents 4.

The 59-year-old felt appropriate to make another movie from the franchise as his age is the same as co-star Niro’s when the original film came out in 2000.

At the 25th anniversary of the film, a special screening was held where Ben stated, "I think what spurred the idea was that at this point in time, I'm the age that Bob (De Niro) was when we did the first movie.”

"And there was this sort of mirror to the first film in terms of the fact that my kids are grown. And, yeah, that my kid, one of my kids, is thinking about introducing his person to the family”, he continued.

The all-new comedy romantic movie is slated to release in November 2026 with Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner and Teri Polo returning to the star cast.

Meanwhile, Ariana Grande will also be starring in a key role.
