After dropping hints earlier this year, Will Forte confirmed to Rolling Stone that he will soon begin writing a sequel to the highly quotable MacGruber.
The former Saturday Night Live cast member, now residing back in his native California, also said there have been discussions with the original cast, including Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillippe, about returning for the follow-up.
In the wake of his friend Bill Hader's exit from the show that spawned Forte's MacGyver-based caricature, Forte shared his feelings on his own exit. "It's like going through a bad breakup, you don't want to watch the show, you don't want to talk to them [the cast]. But now we're cool." His sporadic returns to the program are prompted usually by phone calls from Jason Sudeikis asking him to come back for fan favorites like the ESPN Classic commentators Twinkle and Stink.
