Bekmambetov Wants Angelina Jolie for ‘Wanted 2’

I think we found the reason for her to come back.

Those were the words director Timur Bekmambetov used after stating to MTV he would like Angeline Jolie to reprise her role as Fox for the planned sequel, ‘Wanted 2.’  Now, for those of you who haven’t seen the first ‘Wanted,’ you’re probably already spoiled on this one, but just in case that first quote didn’t reveal too much, be warned.  The rest of what Bekmambetov had to say about ‘Wanted’ and its sequel definitely does spoil the ending of the first film.

If you remember from the first film, we have a recovery room with the baths of wax.  We know how to do this, but it’s still tough to do, because the bullet is inside her head.

But there has to be a reason for her to come back… and we know the reason.

Based on the comic series by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones, ‘Wanted’ pulled in $341 million at the worldwide box office last year.  Jolie has expressed in previous interviews she does not feel her character can return, but, with movie magic and a little dispension of disbelief, anything is possible.  This is the same world where people curve bullets and flip vehicles with perfect grace.  Bringing Jolie’s character back to life is not only plausible in the realm of ‘Wanted,’ it actually makes sense.

Whether the actress wishes to return for another round is another question, entirely.  Regardless of who returns, Bekmambetov declared the movie would probably being production sometime this Winter.
