Wanted 2 is still alive

This may come as a surprise to quite a lot of you, especially with the report at the end of last week confirming that Angelina Jolie is dropping off of Wanted 2. Our hearts did not break, since not a lot of people are not looking forward to a sequel to the movie based very loosely off of the Mark Millar written comics. The Universal Pictures film managed to make itself back some money, $134.5 Million to be exact, so with the possibility of starting up a franchise, how could they not take advantage of that small opportunity?

Well, for those of you who had a huge sigh of relief over the dead-in-the-water sequel, it’s time to crush your hopes once more. In an interview with Mark Millar, STV got him to spill on the fate of this property on the big screen.:

…as far as he knows, the sequel would still go ahead and they would just have to do some “plot modifications” to introduce a new character rather than the plans to have Jolie’s character Fox return. Millar talks about the reasoning for making a sequel and trying to figure out a way to bring some of the dead characters back from the original, but he’s optimistic they can figure out a cool way to work around the latest roadblock. As he says at the end, “it changes every day” and there’s a chance that Universal haven’t quite decided what to do as of yet or whether a sequel would work without Jolie. (CS!)

Since everything is up in the air, it’s question time for you all once more. Do you want to see a sequel to Wanted?
