Wanted 2 to start filming in a few weeks

by Liam on July 24, 2009 · Comments

While at Comic-Con SHH spoke to Mark Miller, creator of Wanted, and he said that Wanted 2 would start filming in 2 months time.

While talking to Mark Millar for Kick-Ass he revealed to us that the script for Wanted 2 is complete and that they’re going to start shooting in eight weeks time.

Timur Bekmambetov is returning to direct while James McAvoy will again play Wesley Gibson.

Millar told us the sequel will revolve around the international group of assassins from issues 4 and 5 from Millar’s graphic novel.

No word on whether Angelina Jolie will be returning. Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov said last month that he’s found a way for her to return, despite being killed off at the end of the first film. We’ll have to wait for casting details over the upcoming weeks to see who will be back.

    Did I miss something or was Wanted sort of a flop? Why are they making a sequel? I mean, some die hard fans liked it, but most people never saw it.
  • It made $341 million worldwide on a budget of $75 million. It more than quadrupled it's budget. Plus it was R rated in the US. Universal would have been stupid not to make a sequel. Although, i'm not sure if it will do as well without Jolie.

    Hm, maybe I was wrong and just missed the whole craze. I'm usually all about comic-adaptation movies, but, I watched that one, hated it, and anytime I mentioned it to someone, they said they saw the trailer but never went to go see it. Or if they did, they had a negative review. Maybe I'm being unfair, because I simply didn't like it. But wow, it made a lot of money in that case.

    And, I heard that they found a way to bring Angelina's character back, so she would still be in the movie. Maybe it was just an internet rumor.

    As a stand alone, I didn't mind this film.
