Opening up the first film’s world, Zombieland: Double Tap brings a handful of new characters into the mix, including eerily dead-on doppelgangers for Tallahassee and Columbus played by Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch. But the sequel’s best new character is unquestionably Madison, a ditzy blonde brought to life by a scene-stealing Zoey Deutch.
Audiences are absolutely loving Deutch’s character, and Ruben Fleischer was such a fan of her performance that he seems to at least be entertaining the thought of a spinoff movie.
“I would love to do a Madison standalone movie,” Fleischer told THR.
The director of both Zombieland and Double Tap continued, “So, I think [the story of Madison and Berkeley beyond the events of Double Tap] remains to be written. That would be a fun thing to go find out. That actually would’ve been a good post-credit scene where those two are in Babylon just being pretty dumb together.”
Speaking of future installments in the Zombieland franchise, Fleischer told the site that he’d be “thrilled” to return to that world again – maybe in another 10 years from now?
“It would be a dream come true,” Fleischer said. “It may take that long to get another story worth telling, but I’d be thrilled to go back to Zombieland.”
