Ariana Grande joins Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro in new 'Focker In-Law' movie
Ariana Grande will star alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro in 'Focker In-Law,' the fourth movie in the Meet the Parents series. The first trailer was shown at CinemaCon, the annual movie industry event in Las Vegas.
Hollywood got a blast from the past at CinemaCon when Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro appeared together to debut the trailer for 'Focker In-Law.' The new comedy brings back the entire original cast from the Meet the Parents franchise.
Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo, and Blythe Danner all return to their famous roles. Newcomers include Skyler Gisondo and Beanie Feldstein, who play the grown-up versions of Henry and Samantha from the earlier films.
Ariana Grande joins as a main character, though her exact role hasn't been revealed. This comes fresh off her starring role in the Wicked movie, showing her continued move into acting.
The Meet the Parents series has been a comedy goldmine since 2000. The three previous movies - Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, and Little Fockers - combined made over $1 billion worldwide. The original film launched countless catchphrases and made Robert De Niro's intimidating father-in-law character iconic.
This marks Grande's first major comedy role after her successful turn in the Wicked musical movie. The Meet the Parents movies were huge hits, making hundreds of millions at the box office, so fans have been waiting years for another sequel.
Universal Pictures will likely announce a release date for 'Focker In-Law' soon, probably targeting a 2025 theatrical release.
