When I recently presented the same question to Superbad director Greg Mottola , he sided with Rogen on the idea, believing that a direct sequel would have been unnecessary… but he does have a desire to do a big reunion movie that would bring back absolutely everybody from the original film.
While it turns out that a direct follow-up was something that Apatow always wanted to do, Rogen could never get on-board with an idea, and a project never developed.
In recent years, I’ve had the opportunity to talk with both Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow about the idea of a Superbad 2, and in each separate conversation I was met with a different attitude.
