Wanted 2: Towards a suite 17 years later with James McAvoy?
“We have a script that I still find very solid!”
And to say that he had managed to bend the trajectory of the bullets …
The project Wanted 2 has long been considered abandoned. And yet he could be reborn from his ashes overnight, if we believe Derek Haasco-series of the original film, which confirms that a Full scenario does exist for the future.
In a recent interview with Screenhe confirms that he always dreams of bringing together James McAvoy and the original team:
“With Michael Brandt, we wrote a script that I still find very solid”explains Haas, today in full promotion of his new Countdown series for Prime Video.
“Hey James McAvoy … Come on, come back, we start again with Wesley!”
Out of 2008,, Wanted staged James McAvoy in the role of Wesley Gibsona young loser recruited by a secret company of assassins capable of bending the trajectories of bullets.
The film, directed by Timur Bekmambetovalso counted Angelina Jolie And Morgan Freeman in the casting.
Freely adapted from the comic-book of Mark Millarthe film had known a Nice critical and public successcombining nearly $ 350 million in revenue. And Universal had started to work on a suite from 2011. But since then, radio silence. The project remained blocked in development for more than a decade. Today, Haas recalls that nothing is frozen in Hollywood:
“You must never say in this job. I loved every moment spent doing Wanted.”
As of James McAvoyhe does not seem to be opposed to the idea of resuming arms.

So Wesley Gibson could end up taking up arms if Universal decided to officially relaunch the production of Wanted 2…
