Angelina Jolie May Return for Wanted 2

Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov recently spoke to RIA Novosti and said that work on Wanted 2 will begin next month, and revealing that he found a way to bring back Angelina Jolie’s character, who died in the first movie.

He also mentioned that another ghost will also be returning as well, Kostya Khabensky who played a bomb expert in Wanted will also be rising from the dead, although he didn’t say anything about the rest of the Fraternity.

Bekmambetov furthermore elaborated on when the principal photography should be starting. “I think in the late autumn or winter shooting will be performed,” he said. “The shooting will take place in America, India and Russia.”

The original “Wanted” was based on a comic book by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones, and centered around a secret fraternity of supervillains who had succeeded in destroying or capturing their goody two-shoes counterparts and was secretly running the world. Since its release in June 2008, it has raked in as much as $341.8 million worldwide. It has also been nominated for two Academy Awards, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.

Wanted 2 will hit theaters in 2011.

Mark Millar Talks About “Wanted 2″

With “Wanted” being a huge success this summer, it’s no surprise that creator of the graphic novel, Mark Millar is already talking plans for more sequels to the film.

Plans were put into motion to make another movie as soon as the movie broke the $50 million mark, and Millar was of course happy to oblige:

“What I will be doing is providing them with a very small amount of stuff for a story, and that will be used as a basic story that they can build from. It will be a small outline that can possibly be picked apart and not used – but it will be something exclusively for the second film, and no one will ever really see it…. It will be some of the stuff that we didn’t utilize from the first book for the movie – like chapters three and four – there will be some stuff from that, so in the loosest sense it will be based on the book, but only very little,”

Timur Bekmambetov directed the flick, but there’s still no word if he, or star James McAvoy, will return for the sequel.
