Focker-In-Law’ Trailer Draws Notice for Visible Stunt Double

The moment comes during Universal’s push to relaunch the Meet the Parents series for Thanksgiving 2026.

Overview

  • After its CinemaCon debut and online release, viewers flagged a bike-fall shot where a stunt double’s face appears instead of Ariana Grande’s, and Universal has been asked for comment.
  • Robert De Niro praised Grande on stage at the industry event, with Ben Stiller also complimenting her comic chops in a light exchange that stoked buzz for the sequel.
  • The next chapter centers on Henry, the grown son of Greg and Pam, preparing to marry Olivia, with Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Teri Polo returning alongside Grande.
  • Stiller told fans they need not watch the full trilogy and said he stands by the first two films, offering a brief, diplomatic nod to Little Fockers.
  • John Hamburg wrote and directs the film, with producers including Jay Roach, De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, Ben Stiller and John Lesher, and Universal set a November 25, 2026 theatrical release.
