In a new interview, Veronica Mars alum and current New Girl star Max Greenfield (Schmidt) talks about the possibility of a reunion with Kristen Bell and the Veronica Mars movie he’s still hoping for!

When questioned about the possibility of Kristen guest starring on New Girl, the actor told E! Online:

I’m so into it, it’s not even funny. I think it’s really possible.

I feel like they’re done shooting House of Lies [Bell’s upcoming Showtime comedy] and I think we have nine more episodes to film. Yeah, OK, let’s do it!

Kristen is one of those people who, unlike a lot of actors, are down. They’re not like, “Oh, I’m scared,” or “Oh, I don’t know if I want to do that.” Kristen is the type of person that if you call her and she’s available, which is seldom, she’ll be like, “Yeah! Let’s go, let’s do it.” So I think it’s pretty likely. It would be pretty awesome. I love Kristen. I think that she is so talented and hilarious.

Speaking like a true fanboy himself, Greenfield also talked about the desperately hoped-for Veronica Mars movie:

You know what? They should do a movie. Oddly enough, I was thinking about that today, I don’t know why. I swear to God I had gone to the gym and I got out of the gym and I don’t know why I was thinking this, but I was like, you know, they should do a movie. It shouldn’t even really relate to any of the storyline. They can hint toward the storylines from the show, but because [Kristen] is so much older now, they could do a really cool, dark and edgy movie mystery, totally separate from whatever happened in the show.

We’re on board — as long as Greenfield returns as the adorable Deputy Leo!

Are you as eager for a Veronica Mars movie as we are? What sort of role should Kristen play on New Girl?
