[Rappy Veteran]

Rowan Atkinson is in discussions to star in a sequel to his 2003 movie Johnny English, reports The Guardian.

The original film, which parodied the James Bond series, cast Atkinson as a bumbling secret service agent who faces off against John Malkovich's French megalomaniac. The character is partially based on the character Atkinson played in TV advertisements for Barclaycard.

Johnny English pulled in $160 million in ticket sales at the worldwide box office on a budget of $40 million.

Atkinson last appeared on screen in 2007's Mr Bean's Holiday.

I sort of enjoyed this movie. As long as it's stars don't ask for mega money then it should do fine. If Rowan himself gets 1mill then that would be cool.
