Film legend Robert De Niro plans to star in a sequel to "Taxi Driver."

The 61-year-old actor, who played deranged Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle in the 1976 classic, has been talking to director Martin Scorsese about a follow up, the Sun reports.

"We're planning a sequel built around the character when he is older," De Niro said.

Jodie Foster co-starred in the role of an underage prostitute in the original.

De Niro won an Oscar for his role as boxer Jake La Motta in the 1980 film, "Raging Bull."
