“He’s so innocent – and she’s trained to manipulate people!” Universal Pictures has revealed the first official trailer for the long-awaited comedy sequel Focker-in-Law, the latest film in the Meet the Parents family of Fockers comedy series. It’s a follow-up to Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers in the years past – though it has been 16 years since the last one opened. There’s always more Fockers to go around, right? This next one brings the main cast back and introduces newcomers into the mix: Ariana Grande (from Wicked) as bride-to-be Olivia Jones alongside Skyler Gisondo as her beau Henry, the two at the center of this story. This November, comedy icon and Emmy winner Ben Stiller and two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro reunite for a new chapter in the blockbuster Meet the Parents franchise. “The circle of trust just got bigger.” The full cast also includes Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo, Beanie Feldstein, and Eduardo Franco. Even though we’ve seen all this before, it’s still a storng (re-)intro trailer bolstered by good humor.
Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for John Hamburg’s comedy Focker-in-Law, from YouTube:
