Jon Hamm told Insider, “never say never” in regards to a “Mad Men” film.
However, he stated that several factors must “align” for that to become a reality.
“I’m delighted I don’t have to align that incredibly difficult Tetris puzzle,” he stated.

Jon Hamm acknowledges he is open to hearing ideas for a film adaptation of “Mad Men,” but there is a long way to go before it becomes a reality.
“I will never say never, but there are a lot of moving factors that need to align,” Hamm told Insider while doing promotion for his new film, “Confess, Fletch,” an adaption of the 1976 novel of the same name and a remake of the 1980s character played by Chevy Chase.

Hamm’s portrayal of Don Draper in the AMC series spanning seven seasons brought him instant fame and an Emmy. In addition to Elisabeth Moss, John Slattery, Christina Hendricks, and January Jones, the show, which centered on 1960s advertising agency employees, spawned the careers of Elisabeth Moss, John Slattery, and Christina Hendricks. The show aired from 2011 to 2015 and spawned the careers of these actors.
Hamm may have meant that the ensemble cast must be reassembled when he said that things must “sync up.” It is unlikely that Hamm would sign on for the film adaptation without some or all of his significant co-stars also returning.

Even before the money and the screenplay could be delivered to me, there are a number of moving components that must align, he explained. “I am relieved I do not have to align that extremely difficult Tetris puzzle.”
Since leaving the role of Don Draper, Hamm, 51, has established an outstanding career, appearing in “Baby Driver,” “Richard Jewell,” and most recently “Top Gun: Maverick.”
In addition to “Confess, Fletch,” he will soon be seen in the upcoming season of “The Morning Show” on Apple TV+.
