Superhero Hype is reporting that Timur Bekmabetov has confirmed that the tentatively-titled “Wanted 2″ is in the works, a follow-up to last summer’s adaptation of “Wanted”, the cult comic book by Mark Millar.

Bekmabetov told “RIA Novosti”, a Russian news site, that “In July we will start preparation for the film. I think in the late autumn or winter shooting will be performed. The shooting will take place in America, India and Russia.” He is also planning on bringing back Angelina Jolie’s character of Fox, who died in the first film, as well as the character played by Kostya Khabenskiy, who also starred in Bekmambetov’s breakout films “Night Watch” and “Day Watch”.

The sequel will reportedly have a budget of $150 million, and Bekmambetov will once again have Russian crew involved in all aspects of the production.
