Renee Zellweger hopes she can play Bridget Jones again in another film
The 55-year-old star reprises her role as the titular character in the new film ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’ – which has been billed as the fourth and final movie in the series – but has her “fingers crossed” that her alter ego returns.

The new flick sees Bridget living as a widow following the death of her husband Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) as she adjusts to being a single mother and the world of modern dating.
The story is partially inspired by author Helen Fielding – whose husband Kevin Curran passed away in 2016.
Zellweger said: “(The film) is a beautiful story and really the most personal for Helen. She is sharing about her own experiences about loss, grief and finding new happiness, it’s a pretty special one.”
The ‘Chicago’ star added that she has always felt “really, really lucky to get the part” of Bridget and “was just trying not to get fired”.
Bridget begins a relationship with 29-year-old Roxster (Leo Woodall) in the movie and Zellweger is supportive of the character becoming romantically involved with a younger man.
She told Variety: “I mean, I think it’s nothing new.
