Having made $177 million worldwide, it comes as no surprise to hear that Millennium Films are working on a follow-up to 2017’s The Hitman’s Bodyguard.
THR reports that although Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, R.I.P.D.) and Samuel L. Jackson (Snakes on a Plane) haven’t signed on yet, the working title of The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is being displayed on posters around the Cannes Film Festival.
Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3) is rumoured to be returning to orchestrate the mayhem, while Tom O’Connor (Ironbark) will be fulfilling the same duties by working on the script for the sequel.
