Is there going to be a sequel to 'Mile 22'? The first movie got here out in August 2018 — attracting predominantly unfavorable evaluations.
STX Entertainment began losing hints about possible plans to increase Mile 22 into a trilogy long ahead of the first movie would have even come out.
The studio grew quiet in a while after the premiere date of the movie on Aug. 17, 2018, which most commentators declare had to do with the adverse evaluations and the at-best modest box place of business of $Sixty six million the film generated.
So, where do things stand now? Is there going to be a Mile 22 sequel, or did the studio shelve the film for just right?
STX Entertainment has yet to talk about a sequel of 'Mile 22.'
Perhaps thankfully for the devoted fans of the action-thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and John Malkovich, STX Entertainment has yet to announce that they have canceled the movie altogether.
Although there is been no talk of a doable sequel for somewhat some time now, there may be a likelihood that this has partly to do with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The international well being crisis required maximum studios to make drastic changes to their authentic production plans — and it wouldn't be too far-fetched to suppose that it is going to have led to the postponement of the discussions relating to the long run of Mile 22 as well.
According to The Cinemaholic, there is a chance that the sequel may arrive in cinemas via 2023.
Unfortunately, then again, there are a few alarming signs pointing in the opposite direction as neatly. Despite the preliminary promotions, STX Entertainment hasn't issued a press statement about the Mile 22 sequel for reasonably a while now — which is in and of itself a bad omen.
In the period in-between, author Umair Aleem took on quite a lot of tasks, including Kate, an action-thriller directed through Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, and Danger Girl, a crime-thriller directed through the legendary Jeff Wadlow.
Likewise, Mark Wahlberg is these days running on several tasks. As an actor, he is set to star in three approaching motion pictures, Infinite, Uncharted, and The Six Billion Dollar Man. He is the producer of several other projects, including a TV collection documentary titled Wahl Street and a movie known as The Roman.
Iko Uwais, the actor playing triple agent Li Noor, and John Malkovich, the celebrity who portrayed Bishop's persona in Mile 22, have a few tasks in the making as smartly. Notably, none of the stars are credited on the Mile 22 sequel — which is hardly a motive for optimism.
Mile 22 did finish with a cliffhanger. The plane with Alice (Lauren Cohan), Li, and a few others took off just because it dawned on Bishop that Li was no longer a double agent, but a triple agent who was taking part in into the arms of the Russians all alongside. The sequel may pick out up the place the first movie left off, or it could shed light on what happened to the James Silva-led Overwatch after the bloodshed.
The first instalment of 'Mile 22' grossed best $66 million.
Another drawback the creators will most likely have to cope with ahead of getting the project off the floor is the amount of benefit Mile 22 has made. According to The Cinemaholic, the first installment best generated $66 million general.
So, can the film studio revisit its unique plans and create a film that includes giant names like Mark Wahlberg and John Malkovich the use of a film script that is jam-packed with narrative twists and surprising surprises? Or would the prospect of producing much more losses and receiving even worse evaluations put production to a halt indefinitely? Only time will tell.
Mile 22 is available on Netflix now.
