MacGruber: Will Forte and Kristen Wiig on Learning Christopher Nolan Is a Huge Fan of the Movie

With MacGruber blessing our timeline with eight new thirty-minute episodes on Peacock starting this Friday, I recently got to speak with Will Forte and Kristen Wiig about making the series. As a long time fan of MacGruber, I’m happy to say the new episodes are fantastic and loaded with scenes that will make you laugh out loud. If you haven’t seen the trailer, the series picks up ten years after the events of the film, where MacGruber has been locked up in prison for the brutal killing of Dieter von Cunth (Val Kilmer). But when a mysterious villain from his past, Brigadier Commander Enos Queeth (Billy Zane), threatens the world, MacGruber must reassemble his old team, Vicki St. Elmo (Wiig) and Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe), in order to defeat the forces of evil. As you can easily guess, nothing goes according to plan and it’s fantastic to watch. MacGruber also stars Sam Elliott (Perry), Laurence Fishburne (General Barrett Fasoose), Billy Zane (Brigadier Commander Enos Queeth), Joseph Lee Anderson
