“We are going to do a really funny movie together,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s going to be a blast.”
However, Hawn, 70, said this was not part of a plan for a late-stage comeback to the big screen.

“I am not doing this to re-establish a career. I didn’t go out [looking for a role], it came to me. I was happy not to be in the makeup trailer. But it got to a point when I thought, ‘Gee, you know, it might be fun to make people laugh again’,” she said.

Hawn first established herself as a comedian in the 1960s on the TV show Laugh In. She has followed it up over the years with hilarious roles in movies like Overboard, The First Wives Club, Housesitter and Death Becomes Her.
While Hawn says she is not planning on a comeback she has also signed on to rejoin Bette Midler and Diane Keatin in a sequel to the highly popular First Wives Club.
