It has been rumoured for sometime now but Universal has finally decided to move forward with the sequel to Timur Bekmambetov’s 2008 action-thriller WANTED. The film was based on Mark Millar and J. G. Jones comic-book series and the movie’s screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas have confirmed they have agreed a deal to pen the follow-up.
No word yet if Bekmambetov (NIGHT WATCH) will return to direct. Will James McAvoy will reprise the role of mild-mannered accountant turned superhuman assassin Wesley Gibson? Haas and Brandt have said their script will certainly focus on his character but the writers also have instigated that Angelina Jolie’s Fox will not be returning following her death in the original.
