Evan Spiliotopoulos, co-writer of "Pooh's Heffalump Movie" and its DVD Halloween spinoff, has been hired to write Universal's action sequel "Wanted 2," based on a story by Chris Morgan. Like the original 2008 film, the in-development sequel is based on the comic series created by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones.
Marc E. Platt and Jim Lemley are producing with Timur Bekmambetov, who directed the first film and is attached to helm the sequel. Universal production exec Jeff Kirschenbaum will oversee the project for the studio.
Morgan co-wrote the first film with Michael Brandt and Derek Haas. "Wanted," which starred Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy, grossed $339 million worldwide.
Spiliotopoulos most recently adapted the Dave Roman graphic novel "Agnes Quill: An Anthology of Mystery" for Paramount. He also has "The Last Call" in development at Universal.

I remember watching the first one in June 2008. It was great and I found out about the sequel, I wonder if it's still enjoyable or not because Angelina Jolie will not be in since she's death in the first one at the ending.
some interesting.
I doubt Jolie will be in considering her character was clearly killed in the first film. I'm sure the writer or writers will come up with a new love interest. I'm hoping more badass scenes.
