According to Mulroney, several cast members are already attached to the sequel, including Craig T. Nelson, Rachel McAdams, and Luke Wilson. The original film’s ensemble cast also included Sarah Jessica Parker and Claire Danes.
The actor further teased the direction of the story by saying, “You won’t believe how s— went down the last 20 years for the Stones.” Mulroney also revealed the sequel’s reported title, adding, “I think it’s going to be entitled The Families Stone.”
