'Meet the Parents 4': 'Superman' Star Joins De Niro — Stiller’s Iconic Duo
That Gen Z chaos might be exactly what this franchise needs.
I just found out something so ridiculous it looped back around to iconic: Skyler Gisondo — yes, Superman's Skyler, awkward-cutie-extraordinaire — is in talks to play Ben Stiller’s son in the upcoming Meet the Parents 4.
I honestly had to reread the sentence twice. Not only is the original gang coming back (De Niro, Stiller, Teri Polo, Owen Wilson, the whole chaotic crew), but now we’re throwing Ariana Grande and Skyler into the family Focker blender?
Tell me this doesn’t sound like 2026’s messiest, most meme-worthy Thanksgiving movie.
And look, I know Little Fockers left a weird aftertaste. But if Skyler really signs on (it's not locked yet, let’s not jinx it), we might actually get a fresh, Gen Z-friendly spin on the franchise.
His energy? So perfect for that "nervous wreck with a heart of gold" Focker DNA. Plus, pairing him with Ariana Grande as his intense, type-A fiancee? Comedy gold waiting to happen.
Can we just take a moment to imagine Ariana trying to win over De Niro’s stone-cold glare while Skyler sweats bullets in the background? Peak comedy. This casting might be unhinged — but in the best possible way.
Honestly, this could be the chaotic comfort movie we didn’t know we needed. Also: yes, I’m fully here for Robert De Niro interrogating Skyler like it’s 2004 again.
