Since then, the project seemed to have been shelved, even though the screenwriter Eric Warren Singer announced that it was working on a sequel (despite the reluctance of Lionsgate studio) a few years ago.

This time it's done, the project is well launched. Soon to be brought to the screen by the director Ruben Fleischer – which thus replaces Louis Leterrier busy on the saga Fast and Furiousand Jon M.
