A frequent creative partner has shared news about a potential new installment in one of their most popular film series. While promoting his well-received comedy-drama, Solo Mio, James discussed the possibility of making a third Grown Ups movie.
James didn’t say much, but he made it clear he’d be eager to return for a potential Grown Ups 3. The movie, which would reunite him with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock as lifelong friends who still act like kids, has been talked about for years. James also shared with Variety his preference for whether the film should be released in theaters or made available directly on a streaming service.
I’d be thrilled to be in another ‘Grown Ups’ movie if they ever make one! I’m happy with it being released in theaters or on a streaming service – honestly, I’d love it either way.
James enthusiastically praised his co-star Adam Sandler, describing him as both a wonderful friend and a hugely successful actor. He explained that Sandler is incredibly supportive and resourceful, always offering helpful advice and solutions when things are tough. James clearly admires Sandler’s talent and consistent success, and believes it’s fantastic to work with him. Given their strong connection and the popularity of their films together, it seems like a smart move for Sony Pictures to start working on Grown Ups 3 soon.
The ‘Grown Ups 3’ Plot May Have Already Been Revealed…

Sony Pictures Releasing
The movie Grown Ups, released in 2010, centers around Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and Chris Rock as three old high school friends who come back together after their basketball coach passes away. They reunite at the location of a past championship celebration. A sequel, Grown Ups 2, came out in 2013, with Sandler’s character moving back home to be near his friends. Although critics didn’t like either film, the Grown Ups movies have become popular with viewers, and many fans are hoping for another installment in the future.
Kevin James recently gave a less clear answer about a potential Grown Ups 3, which is different from both recent rumors and what he said a year ago. He previously mentioned that discussions were happening and that something was in the works. It’s now unclear if those plans have changed, or if James is simply keeping things quiet until an official announcement. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.
