Jonah Hill Wants to Do Superbad Sequel When He’s 80: ‘That’s the Only Way I Would Ever Make It’
Jonah Hill wouldn’t say no to returning to Superbad — but fans will have to wait a few decades.
“What I want to do is when we’re like 80, do a Superbad 2,” Hill, 38, told W Magazine for their 2022 Best Performances Portfolio.

“Like, ‘old-folks-home Superbad,’ " joked Hill, who starred in the raunchy 2007 comedy alongside Michael Cera and Emma Stone, in the latter’s big-screen debut.
As for the plot, the two-time Academy Award nominee — who’s currently starring in Netflix’s record-breaking sci-fi satire film Don’t Look Up — already has something in mind.
“Our spouses die, and we’re single again,” he said. “That’s what I want Superbad 2 to be, and that’s the only way I would ever make it.”

The film, which marked Hill and Cera’s big-screen breakthroughs, follows the story of two inseparable friends, Seth (Hill) and Evan (Cera, now 33) in their final days of high school.
As they prepare to graduate, they and their friend Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) are invited to one last house party where they attempt to lose their virginity before they go off to college — but their quest is complicated when the group runs into two inept cops.
In October 2020, Hill, Cera, Mintz-Plasse, 32, and Stone, 33, reunited with several other cast and crew members (including Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, Martha MacIssac, Evan Goldberg, Greg Mottola and producer Judd Apatow) for a Superbad online watch party in support of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, ahead of the November election that year.

As for current projects, Hill said in his interview with W that he has “always been a fan of” Adam McKay, who directed Don’t Look Up, and joked that he considers McKay’s 2008 film Step Brothers “a modern masterpiece” that “should be in the Smithsonian.”
So signing on to Don’t Look Up was a no-brainer, coupled with the unprecedented times of late, during which Hill was often “lonely and bored.”
“COVID was horrific, but it did make me reprioritize the value of being irreverent and funny,” Hill said. “I thought, ‘We should all just laugh!’ "

‘And Just Like That’ Writers Defend Steve’s Storyline Amid Fan Criticism
]
[This story contains spoilers for HBO Max’s And Just Like That.]
Sex and the City fans couldn’t help but wonder why Steve Brady doesn’t seem to be thriving in HBO Max’s sequel series.
And Just Like That executive producers Julie Rottenberg and Elisa Zuritsky, who both wrote for SATC, spoke to Vanity Fair in a story published Thursday, during which they addressed recent criticism from outlets and social media users over the bumpy path for Steve (David Eigenberg) on the new show. And Just Like That viewers have been surprised that Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) has been hooking up with Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez), who works with Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), with Steve kept entirely in the dark.
Zuritsky dismissed the notion that the writing staff might have some sort of vendetta against Steve. “Everyone on the show, every single person, loves David Eigenberg as a human being,” she explained. “We love him as an actor. We love Steve. We are really invested in the Steve-ness of him. He’s so full of life, and the Steves out there are good guys.”
Rottenberg followed up by reasoning that Miranda’s relationship developments were intended to reflect what some real-life couples endure. “But Miranda’s journey is representing another reality out there, which a lot of people go through — the reevaluations and transitions in life,” she shared. “Grown couples grow apart, and people come to epiphanies about what their spouse is or isn’t fulfilling for them. Miranda’s story was very representative of a certain path that a lot of women find themselves on.”
Among the recent articles to question how the writers are treating Steve include Vogue’s “What Happened to the Men of Sex and the City” and The Cut’s “Steve Deserves Better.” In addition, author Roxane Gay asked on Twitter whether the show’s team hates Steve, adding, “They have given his character not one good scene.”
Zuritsky suggested that criticism of Steve’s path might reflect a “lopsided gender issue,” where viewers “feel angry at her and more protective of him.” She also gave her assurance that a scene is coming soon in which Steve will share his feelings about the situation, and both writers agreed that part of the motivation to revisit these core female characters was to stir up their lives a bit.
In addition, Zuritsky explained that the motivation to make Steve deal with partial hearing loss came from Eisenberg himself wearing hearing aids and having shared this with showrunner Michael Patrick King during their first meeting to discuss the character for the new series. “That actually wound up being Steve’s tone about his aging [in the show],” she said.
