Update on "Wanted 2" movie news: producer breaks silence and confirms the script is coming along.

"Wanted 2" movie news has been percolating for almost six years now, and fans of the original are losing hope. Angelina Jolie probably won't return to reprise her role, and understandable so: her character was killed in the first film.

There's news in a recent interview with comingsoon.net, though. The site talked with "Into the Woods" producers Marc Platt and John DeLuca on the upcoming Disney musical, and didn't hesitate to ask producer Marc Platt on how the "Wanted 2" movie was coming along.

"We have a script that's getting pretty good. To do a sequel when it wasn't really set up for a sequel-one of our main characters dies in it. You don't want to just retread a similar story, but when we get the script to a certain bar, there will be a sequel. It's taken a while because it's challenging, as I said, because we lost a main, main character, so where that James McAvoy character goes now... we have good ideas though. It's coming along."

It's (almost) confirmed Angelina Jolie won't be part of the sequel, if and once it materializes. Platt does hint James McAvoy's character will tread a new storyline in part 2, though.

"Wanted" was based on a (limited) series of graphic novels by Marc Millar and J.G. Jones. Platt confirms Millar remains involved in the development in the sequel.

"He's always going to be involved but he's not going to write the screenplay which is far along, as I said, but he's always going to be involved because the tone he puts forth is so much his tone and I think the film captured that dark humor of his really well."
