It's time to buy a Cornetto, as Edgar Wright hasn't ruled out the possibility of doing Hot Fuzz 2.

The action comedy starring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg came out a decade ago, and MovieWeb has been asking Wright whether he'd consider returning to the village of Sandford.

"I've definitely had some ideas and me and Simon have even talked about it at points, but it's that thing of, do I want to spend three years of my life doing that? Or do I wanna, if I have the opportunity to tell a new story, would I do that?" he explained.

"I would never say never, and you're not wrong to say that that's the one that you could do further instalments."

Hot Fuzz ended with Pegg's Nicholas Angel becoming an Inspector and Frost's Danny Butterman becoming Sergeant, so the prospect is there for a sequel to catch up with them as they solve a new case.

But the issue for Wright is finding a reason for doing a sequel. "The tricky thing with a lot of sequels, and especially comedy sequels, is once characters have finished an arc," he noted.

"Nicholas Angel becomes less of an automaton and becomes more human and Nick Frost's character becomes less of a simpleton and more of a badass. So then the thing is like, when that's your starting point for the next one, where do you go from there?"

To be honest, we'd probably be happy just watching them chase another swan around Sandford and hanging out with them again for a couple of hours.
