Wanted 2 keeps edging closer to actually happening, as producer Marc Platt confirms the script is "getting pretty good"...
From the earliest days of the website we seem to have been reporting on a potential sequel to 2008's surprise hit, Wanted. The original movie starred James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, and Morgan Freeman, with Timur Bekmambetov directing. And the first film ate up $341m at the global box office, Wanted 2 has been on the cards ever since.
However, Wanted 2 appeared to have fallen off-radar in recent years, and we'd assumed that the project had quietly been dropped. Not so though, says producer Marc Platt. "We have a script that’s getting pretty good," he told Coming Soon. "You don’t want to just retread a similar story, but when we get the script to a certain bar, there will be a sequel. It’s taken a while because it’s challenging." People who have seen the original will know just why it's challenging, but we've left the spoiler out of this article to be on the safe side.
Mark Millar, creator of the Wantedgraphic novel, remains involved with the project (although he's not writing the script).
Wanted 2 is still likely to be some way off. When we hear more about it, we'll pass the information on...
