Mike Epps to return to "The Hangover 3"

Mike Epps will return in The Hangover 3 as Black Doug, the guy whom Mr. Chow hands over to them instead of their actual missing friend Doug (Justin Bartha).


Having already given Ken Jeong a bigger part in the third installment of "The Hangover" franchise, Todd Phillips is now ready to bring back an old favorite from the first pic.

Mike Epps is in negotiations to reprise his role of Black Doug in "The Hangover 3" for Warner Bros.

Epps was pretty funny in his limited role in the first film, and as a much less over-the-top character than Chow, it would be entertaining to see how he fits in with the group dynamics of the main three. Then again ,that's making the assumption that The Hangover 3 will have anything enjoyable to offer, given how much the second film squandered all the good will of the first.

Todd Phillips is back to direct with original cast members Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis set to return. Legendary will co-finance the pic with WB.

Plot details are being kept under wraps. Warners plans to release the pic on May 24, 2013.

Phillips co-wrote the script with Craig Mazin. Phillips and Daniel Goldberg will produce with Legendary's Thomas Tull exec producing.
