Mr. Bean Spotted in London: Is a Comeback on the Horizon?

BBG News

Fans of Mr. Bean are thrilled by rumors that the beloved character might make a comeback, as Rowan Atkinson was recently seen shooting scenes in London on a Monday.

70-year-old actor exited the Piccadilly Circus underground station while holding a baby, appearing just as perplexed as his typical on-screen character.

Initially portraying Mr. Bean since 1990, this actor appeared in a striking ensemble: a blue overcoat, a textured knit cap with pompoms, and a sizeable red backpack, along with a little one.

Sharing a video on Instagram, a fan commented: ‘Mr. Bean’s antics occur at Piccadilly Circus, London.’

As whispers spread, enthusiasts expressed their excitement with phrases such as “Could it be Christmas already?”, “A legend indeed!”, “He’s my favorite!”, “The one and only ROWAN has returned!”, and “Beans are back in the game!

‘Missing that days when I watched Mr bean’; ‘NEW MR BEAN MOVIE??’; ‘Comeback’.

It turns out that things aren’t as they appear; rather than working on a new Mr. Bean project, Rowan Atkinson was actually starring in his newest show titled “Man Vs Baby.

In continuation with his 2022 series titled “Man vs Bee,” the comedy features the main character, Trevor Bingley, played by the same star, once again taking center stage.

Following the chaotic ordeal of house-sitting a swanky tech-laden mansion, plagued by an unwanted arthropod in Man vs Bee, I find myself once more entrusted with a lavish London penthouse. However, this time, I’m not alone – an unexpected guest, one I didn’t invite, has joined me on this adventure!

The new series will have four episodes and has been created and written by Rowan and Will Davies. 

In December, there was a humorous sneak peek where he was digitally placed in various scenes from different Netflix series.

In the first depiction, he was spotted sitting alongside Michelle Keegan in a thrilling scene from Fool Me Once. In contrast, the second portrayal showed him acting alongside Eleanor Tomlinson in the film titled One Day.

In the third role, he appeared in Sex Education alongside Asa Butterfield, and later was chosen for Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget for the climactic part.

Man vs Bee also starred Jing Lusi, Claudie Blakley, Tom Basden, Julian Rhind-Tutt and Greg McHugh. 

2022 saw the return of Rowan to television, taking on the role of Trevor – a clumsy and disorganized house-sitter in the series “Man Vs Bee”. His character’s contentious relationship with a bee led to all sorts of mishaps.

In 2022, Rowan graced our TV screens once more, playing Trevor – an accident-prone and forgetful house sitter in the show “Man Vs Bee”. His feud with a bee resulted in one calamity after another.

Fresh recruit Trevor, who cherishes family life, embarked on his initial significant assignment at House Sitters Deluxe. His task: oversee a sumptuous estate replete with valuable artworks, vintage automobiles, and a charming canine companion named Cupcake.

As a diehard admirer, I can’t help but share my account of an incident that left me, Trevor, feeling like a fish out of water. An unexpected intruder had the audacity to disrupt my peace, pushing all my buttons and testing my patience to its limits. In a desperate bid to regain control over this pesky bee, I found myself in a struggle not just against the insect, but also against my own clumsiness. The result? A self-inflicted injury and, oh the horror, extensive damage to the pristine million-dollar abode that I’ve been entrusted with maintaining.

In a comical series consisting of nine episodes, Rowan made his small screen comeback, offering an almost wordless performance that echoed the success of his worldwide sensation, Mr. Bean.

Actor from Blackadder collaborated on the series with screenwriter and producer Will Davies, a colleague he had previously teamed up with in the 2011 movie Johnny English Reborn.

As a devoted admirer, I had the privilege of sharing the screen with the talented actors Rowan, Julian Rhind-Tutt from Green Wing, and Tom Basden, who shone in After Life, in one of my recent projects – a truly unforgettable experience!

In February, news broke that Rowan would be returning to one of his best-known characters for the first time in six years.

The actor is thought to be starring in a fourth Johnny English film.

In 2018, Rowan played the main character, a spy, in the third installment of the Johnny English series. Ben Miller and Emma Thompson also starred in this film with him.

It is believed that Universal Pictures’ subsidiary, Working Title Films, will be responsible for the production of this movie.

The show is a humorous take on the James Bond character, with Rowan portraying the title role as an eccentric, Mr. Bean-esque British agent.

The star has previously said that a fourth film was unlikely to happen. 

During a Reddit Q&A session, Rowan responded with gratitude to the suggestion that they might write another book: ‘I’m not sure, but I appreciate the compliment.’

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “Well, Rowan from the 2023 Wonka movie shares an insightful thought – ‘Yet, always remember, never close the door completely on possibilities.’
