Mr Bean fans might finally get a comeback of the famous character according to reports. It's reported that writer Richard Curtis, who helped create the sitcom alongside the man who portrayed him, Rowan Atkinson, is planning an update. Amid recent claims that an animated movie was in the works by Atkinson, Curtis has apparently shared an idea on how to bring the funnyman back.

According to The Sun, Curtis is planning a new-look version which would see Mr Bean being old. Viewers could see a much grumpier Bean if this is the case, with the character celebrating his 30th anniversary this year. According to the publication, Richard revealed: "Old Bean is what we’re now thinking of doing."
