The actor has dropped a major hint that his Big Lebows­ki char­ac­ter is mak­ing a comeback.

We don’t know quite how to put this, but it seems as though Jeff Bridges is repris­ing his role as The Dude from Joel and Ethan Coens’ beloved 1998 com­e­dy The Big Lebows­ki.

Yep, you read the right. In a cryp­tic tweet, the actor abid­ed ador­ing fans every­where by post­ing a short video of him­self wear­ing the character’s sig­na­ture shades and cardigan.

There’s no con­fir­ma­tion as to whether this is a direct fol­low-up, unof­fi­cial sequel, or some­thing else entire­ly. It could have some­thing to do with John Turturro’s upcom­ing Going Places, a Big Lebows­ki spin-off con­cern­ing The Dude’s bowl­ing adver­sary Jesus Quintana.

Or, judg­ing by the date giv­en at the end of the clip, it could just be a Super Bowl com­mer­cial. But, you know, that’s just, like, our opin­ion, man.
