Seann William Scott explained what it would take to bring back Stifler for new American Pie movie

This year marks the 26^th birthday of the cult classic movie American Pie. Yep, bet that makes you millennials feel old.

But despite many follow-up films over the years building up quite the franchise, plenty of fans would still love to see the original stars back together again for another American Pie movie.

And Seann William Scott has explained just what it would take to bring back his character Stifler. I mean there’s no denying he was an absolute stand-out thanks to his iconic one-liners and well, questionable, sense of humour.

But even if he only got a small fee for American Pie, Scott says he ‘loves’ the character and it could be ‘really interesting to see what he’s like today.'

Speaking on the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbuam podcast, the 48-year-old said when he filmed American Reunion back in 2012 it felt like a ‘great bookend’ to Stifler.

While he didn’t originally think it would be ‘fun’ to play him again, he reckons now ‘the world has changed’ it could be interesting to bring him back.

Scott explained he was with Jason Biggs (who played lead Jim Levenstein) recently and they were talking ‘about some ideas’.

“We thought it would have to be the perfect idea,” he said of how it would be possible to do another movie.

“It would have to, you know? Because obviously so much has changed, comedies have changed.

“But I think the thing about that character too is that when it comes to comedies, that character allowed me to do so much. He could say so many things that were inappropriate but yet you still kind of loved him.”

He went on to explain playing Stifler meant he got to try out more ‘physical comedy’ and things he didn’t have the chance to in other roles.

“Even just selfishly I think that would be fun,” he added.

“But I don’t know if they’ll ever [bring it back] because I think comedies have changes so much. That movie would have to change and adapt and be more relatable.”

The host then went on to make a joke about Stifler having ‘an identity or gender identity crisis’ to make it relevant now.

But, of course, comedy can obviously be made without taking the p**s out of LGBTQ+ communities or poking fun at minorities.

So, fans can keep their fingers crossed the right and appropriate storyline is eventually found and Stifler just may make his way back onto screens.
