(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Bradley Cooper is keen to make another Hangover movie, insisting there has to be a "trilogy".

The actor plays Phil in the popular comedy franchise, which also stars Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. The second instalment - which saw the friends attempting to retrace their steps after a wild night out ahead of a wedding in Thailand was a huge box office hit worldwide.

Bradley would love to reprise his role for a third time because he has such fun working with the cast and crew.

"I hope there is going to be a Hangover 3," he is quoted as saying. "That was the hardest shoot I've ever done but I just love it. There's got to be a trilogy, you've got to close it up."

Bradley formed a close bond with director Todd Phillips and would agree to make a third movie in the series if the filmmaker was interested.

He is confident that with the right script, another instalment could be a huge success.

"I'll do whatever director Todd wants to do, he's the best, he's the greatest," Bradley added. "And I love those two guys and I love my character Phil so I would do it in a heartbeat." (C) Cover Media
