No luck with that Hot Fuzz🌳 sequel then? Simon Pegg, who played Nicholas Angel in the middle filling of the Cornetto Trilogy, has spoken 🔜out about what the follow-up story would have looked like, as well as plans for a spin-off.

“I think it's the one film out of those three movies that lends itself to a sequel,” Pegg said during an interview with . “We already joked about having a Crocodile Dundee 𓆉reversal of it being Danny in the city... The hypothetical sequel would be Danny and Angel in the big city together.”

Super-cop 𒁃Angel going back to London with the country bumpkin Danny (Nick Frost) sounds like a winner – and Pegg even reveals that a spin-off featuring two of Hot Fuzz’s best bit-part players was kicked around.

“We also had an idea for a spin-off with the Andys, with Padd🌌y [Considine] and Rafe [Spall],” Pegg said, referring to the two Sanford detectives that remain thorns in Nicholas’ side throughout Hot Fuzz.

But don’t go expecting any Hot Fuzz sequels or spin-offs anytime soon – or ever. “Edgar [Wright] and I, when we've done something, we want to move onto the next thing. All of those films, they have an arc and then they finish... We made 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shaun of the Dead, and the sequel to that film is Hot Fuzz, and the sequel to Hot Fuzz is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The World's End. They♛'re a thematic 💃trilogy rather than direct sequels.”

It&rsq🐭uo;s disappo🌞inting but, hey, as long as Edgar Wright keeps pumping out original cult classics, maybe it’s all for the greater good?
