While most summer films aim to either launch a new franchise or succesfully continue an existing series, Warner Bros. is positioning Todd Phillips‘ The Hangover Part III as the definitive end to the series, not unlike their Dark Knight Rises last year. We wouldn’t be surprised to see some sort of spin-off or continuation down the line, but after an initial trailer, the latest look today continues the notion that “It Ends.”
Hidden in our first look, our villain John Goodman finally comes out to play in this new trailer, revealing a plot to get back his money that was lost in the first film. In general, this one looks like a step-up from the second and a fitting end to the series. Check out the new trailer below, along with six posters, for the film starring Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, Melissa McCarthy, Gillian Vigman, Sasha Barrese, Jeffrey Tambor, Heather Graham and Jamie Chung.
The Hangover Part III arrives on May 24th.
