Producer Marc Platt has offered an update on Wanted 2.
He revealed that writer Mark Millar is involved in the comic book sequel.
"We have a script that's getting pretty good," Platt told Coming Soon. "To do a sequel when it wasn't really set up for a sequel - one of our main characters dies in it.
"You don't want to just retread a similar story, but when we get the script to a certain bar, there will be a sequel. It's taken a while because it's challenging, as I said, because we lost a main, main character, so where that James McAvoy character goes now... we have good ideas though. It's coming along."
The first film was loosely based on Millar's comic book miniseries, which was set in a world where supervillains had eradicated all superheroes.
"[Millar is] always going to be involved but he's not going to write the screenplay which is far along, as I said, but he's always going to be involved because the tone he puts forth is so much his tone and I think the film captured that dark humour of his really well," said Platt.
Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy starred in director Timur Bekmambetov's 2008 film.
