The film, which took a massive $441 million at the box office back in the nineties, is now set to return to our screens in a sequel directed by Harry Potter's Chris Columbus (who was also behind the original adaptation).

According to Hollywood Reporter, who first reported the news, Elf writer David Berenbaum will be producing the script.

Film bosses have reportedly been pushing for a sequel since 2001, so it's great news that the iconic 90s flick is now back on.

Sally Field and Pierce Brosnan co-starred in the original Mrs Doubtfire, alongside Mara Wilson. She made her film debut as the very cute youngest child of the family, Natalie Hillard.

But the actress, now 26, has taken to Twitter to strongly refute any notion that she might appear in the sequel.
