Louis Leterrier is in negotiations with Netflix to direct Bright 2, a sequel to the streaming service's 2017 film which starred Will Smith and Joel Edgerton. Leterrier helmed the second MCU film, The Incredible Hulk, as well as movies such as Now You See Me, Clash of the Titans, and the first two Transporter features. The buddy-cop/action/fantasy sequel will reunite Smith and Edgerton as the pair of LAPD officers from the first film, the latter of whom happens to be an orc. Suicide Squad's David Ayer, who directed the original and had been attached to the follow-up, is busy rewriting his remake of The Dirty Dozen for Warner Bros, according to Deadline. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://ift.tt/3fno1gd] Ayer wrote Bright 2 with Evan Spiliotopoulos, and T.S. Nowlin handled rewrite duties on the script. The first film was touted by Netflix's Chief Executive Reed Hastings as one of the service's most-viewed original titles ever in the weeks after it debuted. At that time in January 2018, a sequel was announced but we've heard little about it since then. The title had a total audience of more than 11 million in its first three days of release, according to Nielsen estimates. According to Deadline's sources, the Bright sequel will feature the unlikely partnership of Smith's Daryl Ward and Edgerton's Nick Jakoby "on an international stage."

Will Smith and Joel Edgerton are a compelling duo I’d love to see again in a sequel, or even a new series produced by Netflix, so hopefully, this isn’t the last we’ll see of the world of Bright." Sounds like it isn't!
