The bald assassin strikes again, as Fox has hired Kyle Ward (Kane & Lynch) to pen a sequel to the film adaptation of Hitman that was released back in 2007.

The original took inspiration from the famed video game franchise, putting the genetically-engineered assassin Agent 47 – played by Timothy Olyphant – in the middle of a conspiracy.

Original producers Adrian Askarieh, Daniel Alter and Chuck Gordon are all back.
