Director Signals Wanted Sequel Depends On Mercy

Timur Bekmambetov says a Wanted sequel remains possible nearly 18 years after the 2008 original, but depends on his new film Mercy's performance, he told Screen Rant. Mercy opened with about $23 million this weekend while the 2008 film grossed $342 million worldwide; studios will likely use Mercy's theatrical and digital hold to judge appetite for continuing the franchise.
