Bridget Jones is set to make a comeback on the big screen in the highly anticipated fourth film, Mad About the Boy. However, recent behind-the-scenes photos suggest that she won’t be returning without breaking our hearts first.
Renée Zellweger first captured our hearts as Bridget over 20 years ago in the iconic romantic comedy that made us fall in love with Colin Firth’s Mark Darcy. Fans were overjoyed when Bridget and Mark finally tied the knot in Bridget Jones’ Baby, only to be devastated by the news that Firth wouldn’t be returning for the upcoming film.
This heartbreaking twist is due to the fact that Mark meets his demise in the Bridget Jones book that serves as the basis for Mad About the Boy. Series author Helen Fielding wrote the book, leaving Bridget once again single and facing a world of grief. Despite rumors of her being involved with a much younger man in the new film, it seems that Bridget will have to navigate through a lot of heartache before finding happiness.
Set photos from Mad About the Boy reveal that Bridget is still wearing her wedding ring, presumably as a symbol of her enduring love for Mark even after his passing. This poignant image is sure to leave fans mourning alongside Bridget when the film hits theaters in 2025.
In the upcoming film, Bridget will face the challenges of being a widow and a 51-year-old mother of two. Hugh Grant, who portrayed Mark’s love rival Daniel Cleaver, shared that he was moved to tears while reading the script. Mad About the Boy promises to blend the signature Bridget Jones comedy with a touch of sadness, making it an emotional rollercoaster for audiences.
Despite the absence of Colin Firth’s beloved character, Bridget’s journey as a widow promises to captivate audiences and remind us why we fell in love with her in the first place.
Bridget Jones fans, get ready for some exciting news! The highly anticipated film, Mad About the Boy, is set to be released in 2025. The film will see the return of our beloved character, Cleaver, who was presumed dead in Bridget Jones’ Baby. However, a newspaper clipping revealed that he is actually alive. But don’t get too excited, as actor Hugh Grant has revealed that he won’t have a major role in the film. He said, “I don’t do much now, I’ve just got a few scenes.”
Just like the previous films, the script for Mad About the Boy will be written by Helen Fielding, along with the help of Dan Mazer and Abi Morgan. In front of the camera, we can expect to see the talented Dame Emma Thompson reprising her role as Dr. Rawlings. Joining her will be Chiwetel Ejiofor from 12 Years a Slave and Love, Actually, as well as Leo Woodall from One Day.
It’s no surprise that Bridget Jones has become a Christmas classic in many British households. The first film grossed an impressive $282 million (£200 million) at the global box office. And with the release of Mad About the Boy, we can expect even more excitement and laughter.
