Wanted writers Michael Brandt & Derek Haas back onboard for part 2

Something like 14 months it’s been since writing about the prospect of a second WANTED film, when we relayed the reasons why Angie Jolie won’t return to the action sequel. But even without her, WANTED 2 seems to be moving ahead, that is if we lend credence to the following tweet by co-writer Derek Haas. Scope it…

Pretty direct, no? Of course by Michael he means Michael Brandt, who co-wrote WANTED with Haas (both seen above). Certainly more clear than who will direct at this point…as no word has it if Timur Bekmambetov will hop back in the chair. Remember, he’s currently doing ABE LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER. He’s also settled in nicely as a producer.

Haas continued, addressing the plot of the sequel:

“Wanted 2 is going to take off after the events of what just happened. Pick up Wesley a few years later and go back in for another round.”

For now we can assume Wesley will again be played by James McAvoy. Without Angelina though, he may want a pay raise!

Is a sequel WANTED without Angie?
