While promoting the third movie in the series, Atkinson said he thought a fourth instalment would be unlikely.
Speaking during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), he said: "I doubt it but thank you very much for implying you'd like to see another one. But at the same time... never say never."
Meanwhile, the actor previously explained he felt the physical comedy he is known for is "more timeless" than other forms so its popularity is enduring.
He told another source: "I suppose it's more timeless."

"Whereas visual comedy is generally about simple, human situations involving human instincts and human behaviour, and those things change far less.”
“Also, of course, it means that you are automatically granted immunity from cultural and linguistic differences. But in the end, humanity shares a more visual experience than they do a verbal experience. And therefore, internationally, obviously it's an easier thing to sell."
