As for Julie Andrews, she expressed some skepticism about coming back, stating in a 2022 interview, “It was talked about very shortly after [the second sequel], but… I am not sure where it would float or run.”

Despite the uncertainty, Hathaway is enthusiastic about bringing Andrews back into the fold. “I would more than entertain it, I’m pulling for it,” she said during her promotional tour for Armageddon Time. “If there’s any way to get Julie Andrews involved, I think we would make it work.”
