UNCOVERED: Arnold schwarzenegger and danny devito reunite nearly 40 years after legendary comedy twins | History Defined

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito have reunited as they confirm there will be an upcoming sequel to the 1998 hit comedy Twins.

Schwarzenegger, 76, shared a picture of the duo posing together alongside 72-year-old DeVito’s daughter Lucy, who also appears in the play. He captioned the snap: “My brother! It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in I Need That.

“He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute – one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!! I can’t wait to work together again.”

Twins saw the pair play Julius and Vincent Benedict respectively, who discover they are twins - conceived by test tube - and show off their starkly different personalities and, obviously, their appearance.

The film, which had a $15 million budget but grossed $216 million worldwide when it his the big screen 35 years ago, will make a big comeback and star another Hollywood bigwig - Eddie Murphy.

Shwarzenegger has confirmed that a sequel is underway with Murphy set to play a triplet alongside him and DeVito, according to Deadline.

"Funny thing that happens in the mixing of the sperm," explained The Terminator star during a panel at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.

Back in 2012, Schwarzenegger first announced that a sequel called Triplets was in the works at ComicCon.

Speaking to ShortList in 2015, Murphy said: "A couple of years ago I met with Arnold and Danny and some writers. 

"We had a meeting but I didn't hear anything. I tell you - I'm not doing anything unless the script's incredible."
