Bradley Cooper is open to another adventure in Las Vegas, but he is uncertain about the likelihood of The Hangover Part IV becoming a reality. "I would probably do Hangover 4 in an instant, yeah," Cooper, 48, said during "The New Yorker Radio Hour" while promoting his new movie Maestro. "Just because I love Todd [Phillips], I love Zach [Galifianakis], I love Ed [Helms] so much, I probably would."
When asked if it was going to happen, Cooper confessed, "I doubt Todd will ever do that." The Hangover depicts a bachelor party in Las Vegas where the groomsmen wake up with no recollection of the night before. With a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, and the groom missing, the guys embark on a crazy adventure to ensure their friend's safety and get him to the altar.
In 2009, the film grossed $469.3 million worldwide. The Hangover Part II, released in 2011, earned $586.8 million, while The Hangover Part III concluded the trilogy in 2013 with $362 million.
Helms and Galifianakis teamed up again in the October 2021 animated movie Ron’s Gone Wrong. At the premiere, Galifianakis expressed surprise at the possibility of a fourth film.

"Perhaps if they created a Pixar adaptation... a truly wholesome, family-oriented version," he joked about the possibility of a sequel while speaking to Extra. "I'm not sure though, I don't think anyone is considering it."
Galifianakis went on to mention that while he isn't much of a texter, the cast has a group chat. "We enjoy reminiscing when we discuss it," he remarked.
During his interview with "The New Yorker Radio Hour," Cooper was questioned about whether he had finished making comedic movies like The Hangover. His latest film, Maestro, is a dramatic biopic, while A Star Is Born in 2018 was a tragedy. He both starred in and directed both movies.

He acknowledged that dedicating years of his life to each project restricts the number of times he can fully commit to a project. "If I'm fortunate enough to have another idea that I'm willing to invest this much energy in, if I could do it two or three more times in my life, I'd consider myself very lucky," Cooper stated.
