Robin Williams only had one question about the sequel

At the end of Mrs. Doubt, we discovered that the character played by Daniel Hillard had managed to create his own television program aimed at children, which he presented in disguise as a governess. Thanks to a new life discipline, he managed to reach an agreement with his ex-wife Miranda (played by Sally Field) to see his children whenever he wanted. A Mrs. Doubtfire 2 he would then have been able to see the light, and would have followed him in his new life, between father and television actor, disguised as an English governess. Unfortunately, this sequel never saw the light of day.

However, as Chris Columbus recently revealed, during an interview with BusinessInsider, on the occasion of the film’s thirtieth anniversary, the sequel was written. Unfortunately it went into production in 2014, shortly before Robin Williams died. And without the latter, for Chris Columbus there was no question of imagining the future. He stated:

Robin was against the idea of ​​making a sequel straight away (…) We only talked about a sequel during the year of his death. We had a script already written and that was the last time I saw Robin. I went to his house and we sat down to talk about it. The plot was really solid. The only question Robin asked me was, “Boss, should I spend so much time in costume this time?” The role was physically demanding. For Robin, I think it was like running a marathon every day he spent in the Doubtfire costume. So we talked about it, and I think he was hoping that in the rewrite we would tone down the character of Mrs. Doubtfire.

Chris Columbus, however, did not reveal the plot of the planned sequel. However, Robin Williams improvised so much while filming Mrs. Doubtfire that the director hopes to one day make a documentary out of it, due to the number of scenes that have never been shown to the public.
