Steve Carell has signed up for a sequel to spy spoof Get Smart, according to Empire online. It will see him reprise his role as Maxwell Smart, aka Agent 86, who works for the Control agency to battle the evil forces of Kaos.
The first film took an impressive $230m (£132m) across the globe on a budget of $80m (£45m), despite a withering "spectacular if nothing else" review from the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw. No word yet on whether co-star Anne Hathaway will return as Smart's smarter sidekick, Agent 99.
Carell is also reported to have signed a three-year "first look" deal with Warner Bros, which means his newly formed Carousel Productions company will be based out of Warners HQ for the foreseable future.
