2 Guns may not have set the box office alight, making a decent but wholly unremarkable $131 million worldwide, but it was an entertaining throwback to the buddy cop films of the 80s. While out promoting Lone Survivor, producer Randall Emmett spoke to Collider about the possibility of a sequel to the film which starred Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg:
“I mean, I think we’ve having that conversation. You know, I don’t wanna be so bold to say, you know, it’s 100%. Of course it comes down to Denzel and Mark and the director, Baltasar (Kormakur), who’s doing Everest now, who have to make that decision. We, of course, would love to do a sequel and we are pushing for a sequel.”
Personally, I would welcome a 2 Guns sequel and there is certainly enough material to use, with original comic book writer Steven Grant currently penning 3 Guns.
