Pratt in talks for Tomorrow War 2
CHRIS Pratt is in talks to make a sequel to ‘The Tomorrow War’.
The 42-year-old actor stars in the new action film and Amazon Studios has already entered into negotiations with Chris over a possible sequel.
The studio is also keen to re-hire director director Chris McKay and screenwriter Zach Dean, according to Deadline.
Other cast members, such as Yvonne Strahovski, Betty Gilpin, Sam Richardson, Edwin Hodge and J.K. Simmons, are also being lined up to return for the sequel.
‘The Tomorrow War’ has proven to be a hit with viewers since it recently launched on Amazon Prime Video, and the studio is now keen to build on the success of the project.
The move forms part of Amazon’s broader ambition to amass a host of film franchises on its platform.
Meanwhile, Chris McKay recently admitted he’d love to make a ‘Tomorrow War’ sequel.
The director relished shooting the alien invasion thriller and is keen to return to the idea at some point in the future.
He said: “We had such a fun design process. We talked about the world of these creatures, where they came from, how they were created or raised, and how they were maybe being used. I like world-building experiments, especially when you have the potential of some kind of time travel.
“I think that a sequel could go in a lot of fun areas and the ethnographic study of the whitespikes in their world and where they came from, and what their purpose was, and all of that kind of thing.
“So yeah, I think that could be a lot of fun. And with this cast, too, we’re just getting started.”
Meanwhile, Angela Bassett admits there have been “about five incarnations” of the
‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ script.
The 62-year-old actress plays Queen Ramonda in the Marvel franchise, and she’s revealed that the script has gone through numerous tweaks since it was first drafted.
She shared: “I don’t know what it’s going to look like at all. There have been about five incarnations of the script and I hear another one’s coming.”
Angela and the other cast members are determined to ensure that the upcoming superhero movie honours their former co-star Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular character in the first ‘Black Panther’ movie before his death in August.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Of course, with our dear king going on to glory, a lot of things had to be shifted and changed, so thankfully, Ryan [Coogler] and Joe Robert Cole, they’re just such masterful storytellers that they’ve found a way into this world and hopefully it will be satisfying, I think, for the fans and it will be honourable of our Chad. We love our king.”
Marvel boss Kevin Feige recently admitted that returning to work without the late actor has been “very emotional” for the cast and crew of the new film.
Despite this, he insisted they’re all excited to return to the franchise and that they’re determined to “make Chad proud”.
Speaking about the new movie, he shared: “It’s clearly very emotional without Chad.
“But everyone is also very excited to bring the world of Wakanda back to the public and back to the fans. We’re going to do it in a way that would make Chad proud.”
