Considering the hype and strong early reviews, it comes as little surprise that a sequel to the soon to be released The Furious is already in the works.
Producer Bill Kong of Edko Films has confirmed that a sequel to The Furious is on the horizon. “I can promise you one thing, that if there’s going to be a sequel, it will be a better film than the first one”, he said (via Henderson Movies).
(Kong’s comments were technically framed as “if there’s going to be a sequel,” but we’re not going to let a little semantics spoil the fun).
The Furious stars Xie Miao (My Father is A Hero, Eye for an Eye: The Blind Swordsman), Joe Taslim (The Raid, The Night Comes for Us), Jeeja Yanin (Chocolate, Triple Threat), Yayan Ruhian (The Raid, Beyond Skyline) and Brian Le (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
Considering the first film hasn’t even been released yet, it’s impossible to say who might return for the sequel, especially since we’re expecting a good number of the aforementioned characters to meet their demise.
We’ll keep you updated as we learn about about The Furious 2. Until then, The Furious hits theaters on June 12, courtesy of Lionsgate.
