Wanted To Become A Trilogy?

I saw Wanted the other day and I enjoyed it. Good action, nice twist towards the end and of course, Angelina Jolie. It seems a lot of people thought the same as me because it did rather well for an R-Rated movie. It is the second biggest opening that didn’t reach number #1 (damn you Wall-E!) and has already made back its budget with a total of $90 million as I type.
Universal are currently choking on money, and when they finally spit it out there is a good chance they will be wanting more. (See what I did there? The movie is called Wanted and I said ‘wanting’ and made it italic…I’m hilarious!)
Cinema Blend are saying that a source told them that Universal want to go international next time round. Spoilers below.

For the sequels their idea is to take Wanted international, and have James McAvoy’s Wesley character fighting Fraternity cells all over the world. It seems Sloane isn’t the only Fraternity leader who has been ignoring the instructions of fate, it’s something that’s been happening for centuries, and that means a lot of Sloane’s peers are now pretty pissed off at Wesley.
​

They also say:

It’s surprising, since by the end of the film both Jolie and Freeman’s characters are quite definitively dead. That’s no barrier for Hollywood though. The plan is to involve them in flashbacks which will explore the past of Angelina Jolie’s Fox, and allow us to meet the man who trained and recruited her. That person could become a major villain in the sequels, which would explain the flashback links to Jolie and Freeman.

Interesting but they should really bring in the villain aspect.

Cheap...

i think the movie deserves a sequel at least.

I don't think Angelina would come back for a sequel...and I really doubt it will do better at the B.O. without her

It definitely could if they can get a chick just as well known as Angelina

who?

Sequal eh? Wow, I'm ok for it. If done right.

 

[Johann Krauss]

sounds great

This sequel will probably play out as well as "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle".

Ugh. It did well, and they should leave it be. As soon as they something that did well in a one-off and try to stretch the premise into antoher film or a trilogy, you end up with the Matrix movies. One great film....one medocre film...and one horrid film.

Of course, in my own opinion, Wanted is still waiting on a good movie. Still, alot of people liked it, so more power to them.

I've heard they've offered McAvoy a nice chunk of change to do a couple more. I thought he was great in this. Cute and sexy.

McAvoy is a great actor. One of the best up and comers in the Hollywood scene. I just hope he thinks carefully before he counts his bills.

I would definitely be on board for a sequel. I loved the first film.

I guess it could be pretty good, it did pretty well commercially I guess.
