“Monster-in-Law 2” – A Fanmade Poster That Sparked Real Hopes Among Fans

Nearly two decades after its original release, Monster-in-Law (2005) is once again capturing the attention of audiences, thanks to a viral movie poster teasing a supposed sequel. Starring Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda, the original romantic comedy centered around the hilarious and chaotic relationship between Charlie and her domineering future mother-in-law, Viola. Now, fans are buzzing: is Monster-in-Law 2 really happening, or is this just another clever piece of internet fiction?

The Viral Poster: Fake, but Fascinating

A mysterious poster recently surfaced on sites like Movie8D and quickly made its rounds on Facebook through a fan page called “Alicas Sports.” The image featured Jennifer Lopez seated confidently in a white outfit, while Jane Fonda stood behind her in a matching ensemble — a striking visual that reignited fan enthusiasm. The design even included a vague “2025” release date, fueling further speculation.

However, upon closer inspection, the poster has been confirmed as fanmade, likely created using AI tools. The Facebook page that shared it is known for circulating unofficial posters of fictional sequels such as Inglourious Basterds 2, Mea Culpa 2, and The Big Short follow-up — none of which are real.

Still, the buzz generated by the poster reveals something deeper: audiences genuinely want to see this sequel happen.

Why Fans Want Monster-in-Law 2

There’s a reason this 2005 rom-com remains a fan favorite. The chaotic chemistry between Lopez’s Charlie and Fonda’s Viola, combined with sharp humor and outrageous mother-in-law antics, left a lasting impression. It’s not just nostalgia — fans believe there’s real potential for a meaningful and hilarious continuation.

Online, the reactions have been overwhelming:

“I know it’s fanmade, but I wish it were real. I want to see how Charlie and Viola turned out after all these years!” – a Facebook comment.

“Jennifer Lopez is still a powerhouse, and Jane Fonda just keeps getting better. I’d be first in line if this actually happened!” – a Reddit user.

Clearly, fans haven’t moved on — they’re ready for round two.

Is Monster-in-Law 2 Happening?

As of now, there’s no official confirmation that Monster-in-Law 2 is in development.

Back in 2014, Deadline reported that a Monster-in-Law-inspired TV series was in the works, supposedly picking up after Charlie and Kevin’s wedding. Unfortunately, no updates followed, and the project seemed to fade away.

Still, there is one glimmer of hope. Wanda Sykes, who played Viola’s witty assistant Ruby, recently shared her desire to return for a sequel. In an interview with Gay Times, she revealed:

“Jane [Fonda] and I keep talking about that. Last time I spoke to her, she said she had an idea. I’d love to do it!”

This suggests that the cast is still open to the idea, and even informally brainstorming how to bring it back.

A Loud Message from Fans: Make It Happen

 

The massive attention surrounding the fake poster is more than a momentary social media trend — it’s a sign that fans still care about Monster-in-Law. With the growing popularity of legacy sequels (My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, the upcoming Legally Blonde 3), it’s clear there’s room in Hollywood for a Monster-in-Law comeback.

If fans are loud enough — as was the case with Zack Snyder’s Justice League — studios may be forced to listen.

What Do Fans Want from Monster-in-Law 2?

  • A hilarious reunion between Charlie and Viola, possibly now in the roles of mother and grandmother.

  • A more evolved storyline that dives deeper into their relationship after years of growth — with room for both laughs and reflection.

  • The return of Wanda Sykes for her unmatched comedic timing.

  • Modern themes about marriage, family, and personal boundaries in today’s social landscape.

If Monster-in-Law 2 ever becomes reality, it would be more than just a sequel — it would be a nostalgic celebration wrapped in a fresh, comedic take on modern family dynamics. And for now, all eyes are on Jennifer Lopez, Jane Fonda, or even Wanda Sykes for that one Instagram post or teaser that could turn fan dreams into fact.

Until then, the message is loud and clear: audiences are ready
