Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a photo on Instagram posing with his Twins co-star Danny DeVito, 79, and DeVito's daughter Lucy DeVito, 40, on the set of their Broadway play I Need That. In the caption, he wrote, "My brother! It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in I Need That, " reports People magazine.

Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about one of the best plays

Arnold further mentioned: “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.” Schwarzenegger and DeVito popularly co-starred in 1988's Twins, a buddy comedy revolved around the pair as genetically engineered fraternal twins separated at birth.

The movie grossed $111 million at the domestic box office upon its release and was the fifth highest-grossing film released that year, per Box Office Mojo. As per People, the pair have a forthcoming sequel to the movie titled Triplets in the works. The project was delayed after the original movie's director Ivan Reitman died at 75 in February 2022. Reitman was set to return for the sequel, which would involve the brothers discovering they are triplets.

Eddie Murphy to join the sequel

Reportedly, Eddie Murphy attached to join the sequel's cast, with Tracy Morgan more recently reportedly set to take the new part. In May, Schwarzenegger told The Hollywood Reporter that the Twins sequel project was no longer happening and that Reitman's son Jason Reitman "literally stopped the project when his father died.”
