Robert De Niro wants The War With Grandpa sequel set in pandemic

Hollywood veteran Robert De Niro, would love to see a sequel to his latest release, The War With Grandpa, with a theme revolving around the Covid pandemic.

"It would be interesting to see a sequel including the current situation we are all in, with the virus that's all over. To see the family cramped together and what comes out of that will be funny," the actor said, talking about the scope of a sequel.

Directed by Tim Hill, The War With Grandpa follows a 'war' that breaks out between a grandfather (played by De Niro) and his grandson (Oakes Fegley), when the latter wishes to reclaim the bedroom he is forced to share with the old man.

The comedy drama, which also stars Uma Thurman, Jane Seymour and Christopher Walken in pivotal roles, is scheduled for a theatrical release in India on November 13.
