It appears that Wanted 2 is finally going forward, as Universal has hired Pooh’s Heffalump Movie scribe Evan Spiliotopoulos to write the action movie sequel.

The in-development sequel will pick up the story from the comic book series created by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones. Chris Morgan, co-writer of the first film, will pen the story that Spiliotopoulos will use.

Timur Bekmambetov, who directed the first film, is attached to helm this one.
