LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the upcoming movie 'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy', the beloved singleton Bridget Jones finds herself entangled in a romantic web with not one, not two, but three suitors vying for her affection.

Renee Zellweger returns to the screen as Bridget, now navigating the complexities of love with Hugh Grant's Daniel Cleaver, the charming Rockstar played by Leo Woodall, and Chiwetel Ejiofor's character, Mr Walker, a PE teacher at her son's school.

A film source revealed, "Never before has Bridget had so many choices of men. It is going to be brilliant, all three are very different."

"Chiwetel, as the teacher, is the more secure and safe one and of the three certainly the best choice but then you have the hunky Rockstar who Bridget meets on social media."

"He is much, much younger than her but she adores him, though their age gap makes things difficult."

"But will Bridget be able to give up the temptation of Daniel Cleaver, who has been in and out of her life since she was in her 20s?"

In 'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy', Bridget becomes a widow after her husband, human rights lawyer Mark Darcy, portrayed by Colin Firth, dies while attempting to rescue a client overseas. Firth's character will be featured in flashbacks, as he passes away before the events of the film unfold.

The DailyMail unveils that Bridget will trade her iconic bachelorette pad in London's Borough Market for a family home in the serene neighborhood of Hampstead, north London. Transitioning from her chaotic role at a TV company, she will navigate the challenges of the school run. Hilarious moments ensue as she attempts to keep pace with the style of other mothers in the playground, highlighting the contrast between her scattered life and theirs.

Bridget will embark on a seaside adventure, described by insiders as "hilarious and relatable," adding another layer of humor to the movie. According to one insider, this aspect of the film is designed for Bridget's loyal fans who have grown up with her, promising that they will thoroughly enjoy it.

"It's about seeing Bridget come of age but what we all really want to know is who she will end up with. Will it be Daniel, Rockstar or Mr Walker?"

Earlier this year, The Mail unveiled the anticipated return of Bridget, 23 years after the debut of the initial film. 'Mad About the Boy' is slated for release on Valentine's Day next year, with Emma Thompson reprising her role as Dr Rawlings, who played a pivotal role in Bridget's journey in 'Bridget Jones's Baby.'

In the wake of the announcement of the upcoming film 'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy', fans of the film series are expressing a range of emotions online. The revelation that Bridget Jones, portrayed by Renee Zellweger, will become a widow after the death of her husband, human rights lawyer Mark Darcy, portrayed by Colin Firth, has ignited a lively discussion among fans online.

One user lamented, "Without the gorgeous Colin Firth, I won't watch it. He is my favourite."

Another user expressed a similar sentiment, stating, "Bridget without Mark Darcy won’t be the same. Should’ve ended at the end of the last film."

One user commented, "I think this franchise has had its day."

On a lighter note, another user humorously remarked on Bridget's romantic entanglements, stating, "Lucky Bridget to have three men fighting for her as she approaches sixty years old. Some things are better left in the past now."
