Robin Wright appreciates the love fans continue to show for 'The Princess Bride,' but she makes it clear that a sequel to the 1987 fantasy classic is not in the cards. The actress, now 59, reflected during an interview with AARP's 'Movies for Grownups' that talk of a follow-up occasionally came up over the years, especially after the film hit its 30th anniversary.
During a virtual reunion, some cast members revealed they had been approached about the idea, but Wright joked that by now most of them would be in wheelchairs, so a continuation simply isn't realistic.
The original 'The Princess Bride' film followed the swashbuckling journey of a farm boy turned pirate who faced villains, allies, and endless obstacles in his quest to reunite with his true love, Princess Buttercup, played by Wright. The role marked her big-screen breakthrough after gaining attention on the soap opera 'Santa Barbara.'

In 2020, Wright and several co-stars reunited virtually for a script reading that supported a political fundraiser, showing the enduring connection between the cast and their beloved project.
While 'The Princess Bride' sequel will never materialise, Robin Wright believes the original film remains unforgettable—both as a career milestone and as a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience shared with castmates who became like family.
