Chris Pineis down to return toThePrincess Diariesseries alongsideAnne Hathawayfor a long-awaited third installment — just with a different hairstyle!
As Pine, 42, spoke toEntertainmentTonightat Sunday’sDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among ThievesLos Angeles premiere, the actor said he would be happy to receive a pitch to appear again in a futurePrincess Diariessequel.
“Yeah, I’m here! I’m here for it,” he told the outlet when asked about recent reports of a third movie in the works. “Give me — give me a phone call or an email.”
The actor added toETSunday that he would choose a “low-profile hair helmet” if he were to return for a sequel, over the longer locks he sported in the 2004 romantic comedy.

Reports that Disney isdeveloping a thirdPrincess Diariesfilmfirst emerged back in November. Hathaway herself told PEOPLE at January’sSundance Film Festivalthat it is “thrilling” to “see the level of excitement” for the upcoming project.
“We feel the exact same, and I know it’s probably very frustrating,” shesaid of the nearly two-decade waitfor another sequel. “It’s a process that requires patience, and so everybody should consider themselves a part of the movie business now, because this is how long it actually takes to make things.”

Aadrita Mukerji, a television writer with credits onSupergirlandReacher, is reportedly writing a screenplay for the thirdPrincess Diariesfilm. Representatives for Disney did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment regarding the sequel when reports of its development first emerged.
Before the release of 2016’sMother’s Day, directorGarry MarshalltoldPEOPLEthat he and the actress had discussed another run at the movie, where she would once again take the role of Mia Thermopolis.
Marshall, who died in July 2016, directed the first twoPrincess Diariesfilms. Shortly before his death, the late director suggested that Pine could return for a potential third movie.
“Maybe,” Marshall said about Pine’s potential involvement at the time. “He’s quite big now, you know.”
Julie Andrews, who also stars in the franchise, previously toldAccess Hollywoodin December that transforming into Queen Clarisse Renaldi for a future film in the series is “probably not going to be possible.”
“It was talked about very shortly after [the second sequel] came out, but it’s now how many years since then?” Andrews, 87, said at the time. “And I am that much older, and Annie the princess, or queen, is so much older. And I am not sure where it would float or run.”
