In 1980, Schwarzenegger starred in the comedy film Twins alongside Danny DeVito.

“It was more than any movie I’ve ever made, let’s just put it this way,” Schwarzenegger said.
While Twins never received a sequel, Schwarzenegger revealed that there had been plans to follow up the film with a second movie, however that got tossed out when the director of the film sadly passed away.

“The sequel would have been called triplets and it was not done because the director Ivan Reitman passed away just before we wanted to start shooting,” the actor shared.
In terms of who was going to join Schwarzenegger and DeVito as the triplet, the actor shared that it was one of the comedy greats who had been planned to join the cast.
“It would have been Eddie Murphy,” he told Cohen.
