Kel Mitchell wants to bring 1999’s cult superhero spoof Mystery Men back for a sequel and the star even has a story pitch cooking. It might sound unlikely to give a box office bomb a sequel, but since Mitchell and Kenan Thompson recently announced they are working on Good Burger 2, the timing seems right to resurrect another beloved 90s IP.
Released in 1999, Mystery Men follows a group of blue-collar superheroes tasked with saving the day using their less-than-impressive powers. For instance, Mitchel played the role of Invisible Boy in the movie, a hero who could only turn invisible if no one looked at him. Mystery Men also starred Ben Stiller as Mr. Furious, a Hulk-inspired hero who didn’t have super strength, and Hank Azaria as Blue Raja, a warrior specializing in cutlery.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Mystery Men is filled with references to both DC and Marvel, making fun of superhero tropes long before Marvel Studios turned comic book adaptations into one of the most profitable businesses in Hollywood. Maybe that’s why Mystery Men only hauled $33.5 million at the box office, failing to cover its $68 million budget. Still, times have changed since 1999, and superheroes are more popular than ever.
Where Will We See Kel Mitchell Next? While Mystery Men 2 remains a dream for the moment, Mitchell will return to one of his most beloved roles when Good Burger 2 releases later this year. The sequel will bring Dexter Reed and Ed back to the fast-food restaurant, where they meet a new slate of employees.
Mystery Men is currently streaming on Peacock. Good Burger 2 is coming to Paramount+ sometime in 2023.
