Danny DeVito has revealed that after 35 years, he and Arnold Schwarzenegger will team up once again for a new movie.
The two actors have been rumored to be making a new film together after famously costarring as genetically engineered brothers Julius (Schwarzenegger) and Vincent (DeVito) Benedict in the classic 1988 comedy, Twins.
The core of the Ivan Reitman directional flick is about the contrast between the pair, with Julius being a street hustler while Vincent is raised by a scientist.
The movie grossed $111 million at the domestic box office upon its release and was the fifth highest-grossing film released that year, according to Box Office Mojo.
As it's been over three decades since the Hollywood stars have shared the screen, the 79-year-old It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor disclosed that a new project with Schwarzenegger is in the works.
"We’re working on something, a project that we’re going to do together, another movie," DeVito told CNN this week, adding that the friendship he shares with the 76-year-old bodybuilder predates the 1988 movie. "Arnold and I are good buddies. We met way before Twins, years ago," he said.
DeVito said the duo's new movie is currently being written. "We’re hoping that sooner than later, we’ll have a nice script to go to work," he told the outlet.
The rumored move will come after the pair initially planned for a Twins sequel titled Triplets, which would involve the brothers discovering they are triplets, and additional actors like Eddie Murphy and Tracy Morgan were rumored to join. However, the project was put on the back burner when the director sadly passed away in February 2022.
The Terminator actor revealed to the Hollywood Reporter that the late filmmaker's death effectively ended any interest in a sequel. "Jason Reitman literally stopped the project when his father died," he said. "His father wanted to do it really badly. I wanted to do it really badly.
"Danny DeVito wanted to do it really badly. We had the financing. When his father passed away, Jason says, 'I never liked the idea' and put a hold on it," he added.
The Matilda star also shot down a Twins reunion in an interview with GQ in November, stating: "Arnold [Schwarzenegger] and I want to work together. We missed Twins 2, because he became governor - which, he should have done Twins 2 instead of becoming governor."
DeVito added: "No, it’s just two friends, two guys, because we have a good time together. We complement each other in a lot of ways. I am way stronger than he is."
The longtime friends were among the presenters at the 96th Academy Awards ceremony which was held in Dolby Theatre on March 10.
The pair walked out to a standing ovation and delivered a bit about both playing Batman villains the Penguin and Mr. Freeze, respectively. They also joked about fellow presenter Michael Keaton, who played the hero in 1992's Batman Returns.

Speaking about the surprise appearance at the award show, Devito told CNN: "It’s just so much fun and we kept it a surprise as much as we could. We didn’t tell anybody and that was fun going out there and it was a big, good reception."
We can't wait to see what the icons have in store for us!
