Eric Ripley Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I'll admit, I giggled when I read the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 @Nova will be pleased, title's a mouthful though. I assume they want all three back for the sequel or just Hayek if they can't get Jackson and Reynolds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 If they can't get all three of them then they can just keep it. The Hitman's Bodyguard was one of my favorite movies from last year especially from the summer season. But it was def all Reynolds, Sam Jackson and Hayek. Would love to see all three back! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hayek was the MVP of the first. Get her back, let her cut loose again and give RR and SLJ good material and this will be a terrific sequel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make it without them, imo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beezy Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I enjoyed the first one, but I do kind of buy into the complaint that it feels like the script was adjusted to make for a Reynolds/Jackson buddy action comedy flick when it wasn't really conceived as one. Here, they definitely have the opportunity to make the Reynolds/Jackson buddy element the groundwork of the movie with Hayek alongside them. For that, I'm interested in this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Villain wise, it'd be fun to have Gerard Butler or maybe cast him as a rival Hitman to Darius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was apparently a very serious film but then Reynolds and Jackson got on board and the script changed a bit. It's why there was a shift in tone in the film that put some people off. I think if they can cater to Reynolds, Hayek, and Jackson then like @baumersaid it should be a great sequel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Why not just make Josh Brolin the villain? Then you'd have Deadpool and Nick Fury fighting Cable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably by me in The Hitman's Bodyguard thread! He's quite good at comedy and would be a change from the overly serious roles he does.

There's been a running gag between Jackson and Fishburne that fans confuse which movies are theirs, even though they look nothing alike (Jackson has gotten confused for playing Morpheus).

Now if they get Wesley Snipes for the villain Especially considering his history with Reynolds. They should still have Gerard Butler as a rival assassin to Jackson who has also given grief to Reynolds in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Beezy Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Nice to see different writers on board, hopefully there to focus on what worked best about the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
