Wayne's World, the comedy film series that debuted in the 1990s, might be coming back. Recently, Dana Carvey, one of the lead actors, shared a cryptic image on his social media that hinted at the possibility of a revival of the film series about three decades after it first hit the big screen.
The image, which Carvey posted to his Instagram page, featured him and Mike Myers, his co-star, in a basement on what looks to be a Wayne's World set. The image had the caption, "Garth says, 'I like to paint.'" In no time, the post had teeming fans, including Hollywood stars, stating their wish that the actor was teasing a revival of the popular film series. Frozen star Josh Gad also pitched in and commented, "Please let it be 3," while Mad TV and Loudermilk's Will Sasso stated, "We're not worthy!"
Meanwhile, Carvey and Myers have reprised their roles as Wayne's World's lead characters Garth Algar and Wayne Campbell respectively on multiple occasions outside the original films, including an MTV Movie Awards show and a Super Bowl Commercial for Uber Eats in 2021.
Wayne's World originated as an eponymous Saturday Night Live Sketch before it was released for the big screen in 1992. During its box office run, the film grossed $183.1 million against its relatively modest $20 million budget. The sequel, released the following year, had a less-than-promising theatrical run. It only managed to gross $72 million against a bigger $40 million budget. It also garnered a mixed-to-negative review against its predecessor's mostly positive reviews.
