Robin Wright recently explained why a sequel to The Princess Bride will never be in the cards, Screen Rant reports.

Based on the novel of the same name by the late William Goldman, who also wrote the screenplay, the fantasy adventure comedy follows a woman named Buttercup, who is unwillingly betrothed to a slimy prince, Humperdinck. But when she is kidnapped, she soon finds herself in the company of an array of strange characters, including a gentle giant, a vengeful fencing master, a scheming Sicilian, and a mysterious man in black, who may or may not be the feared Dread Pirate Roberts, the outlaw who killed her true love, Wesley.

Released on September 25th, 1987, the film was a modest box office success, grossing $30 million against a $16 million budget, and critical success, with a 96% “Fresh” Rating on Rotten Tomatoes, becoming a cult classic on home video.

While talks of a sequel have happened over the years, Wright discussed why she thinks it is no longer a possibility, having already discussed it with fellow cast members:

Sometime after we hit the 30-year mark, the cast did a Zoom call, and a couple of actors were like, ‘We’ve been asked if we’ll do a sequel,’ and I was like, ‘Well, a lot of us are going to be in a wheelchair’. So no, no, that will never happen.

The director, Rob Reiner, is also against a sequel, elaborating how he’d never move forward on one without Goldman’s input and blessing and that the writer had already attempted a follow-up in the past:

…he started a book called Buttercup’s Baby, and he wrote…I think three chapters, and he said, ‘No, it’s not working. I don’t want to go there’…Bill’s a good friend of mine…he told me when he first met me, it’s his favorite thing he ever wrote. He wanted on his tombstone, and so…I would never do anything that he… wouldn’t…sanction…

The cast and crew are also against the possibility of a remake. After then Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra mentioned the possibility of making one in 2019, Wright’s co-star Cary Elwes wrote on Twitter/X:

There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one.
