Bright 2 has been in the works since 2017, entering production several days before the official release of the first episode on Netflix. However, complications arose in the making, as director David Ayer - known for works like Bright, Suicide Squad and Fury - had to abound the role to work on other projects like The Tax Collector and the remake of The Dirty Dozen. We must not forget the always busy Will Smith, which was another of the reasons that prevented the regular filming of the shoot in March 2019. Since these impediments were disclosed, nothing has been known about the state of the work, at least until a few days ago: thanks to a report published by Deadline, we learned that Netflix is currently in talks with Louis Leterrier - known for works such as The Incredible Hulk, The Transporter, Transporter 2 and Clash of the Titans - for make him inherit the direction by Bright 2.

In addition to the director who is probably about to join the team, we currently know that in the project Will Smith and Joel Edgerton will return in the roles of the protagonists, with the screenplay created by David Ayer and Evan Spiliotopoulos and rewritten by TS Nowlin. Producers of this highly anticipated sequel will be the ever-present David Ayer as well as Eric Newman, Bryan Unkeless and Ray Angelic.
When the original film was released, Bright was not only one of the most important projects for the American company - in terms of the budget invested in it - but it was also seen by over sixty million viewers in the first week of launch, making it the largest. success of the American streaming service. Currently this record has been surpassed by Tyler Rake, the film released this year starring Chris Evans, but it remains an important milestone achieved by the popular streaming service.
Unfortunately we do not know when the shooting could begin, especially due to the current world emergency that we all know by now, but we advise you to stay tuned to find out with us.
