Jeff Goldblum has had quite a run of revisiting old characters in the past few years – just look at Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Independence Day: Resurgence.

So that obviously means he wants to revisit one of his most iconic roles again – Seth Brundle in The Fly – right?

Well, that question was posed to him in a new interview, and it looks like he would be up for it should the 1986 movie get a reboot… despite his character meeting a gruesome fate.

"I don't think my character would be involved because of course I got tragically mutated with the fly and then the machine, oh boy," Goldblum told Bloody Disgusting.

"But maybe I show up as a grandchild of the original Seth Brundle, or Seth Brundle had a brother. Had a brother that emerges in some ways!

"Who knows, I don't know but [director] David Cronenberg was a thrill to work with. Boy, if he was involved I'd like to work with him again, I'll tell you that."

The Fly did produce a 1989 sequel that follows Brundle's son Seth, though it was largely panned by critics. Maybe a story of Brundle Jr Jr could fare better?

The movie follows an eccentric scientist (Goldblum) who is transformed into a human/fly hybrid after one of his experiments goes wrong.

Cronenberg was working on another sequel a few years ago, though that was eventually scrapped due to "budget constraints and other things".

However, he did adapt the original movie for opera, Goldblum saying of that feat: "I wish I could see that opera that David Cronenberg directed.

"I never saw that, so people seem to still have fun doing something with that material. Oh, you know, who knows?"
