Both Will Smith and Joel Edgerton are attached to reprise their roles in a sequel to Netflix’s Bright, and Deadline reports that Louis Leterrier is now in talks to direct the follow-up film.
David Ayer, who directed 2017’s Bright, had previously been set to return.
Leterrier directed all episodes of Netflix’s “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance,” as well as the films Unleashed, Transporter 2, The Incredible Hulk, Clash of the Titans. and Now You See Me.
“Sources said that the Bright sequel picks up the travails of the odd partnership (Smith as a veteran cop and Edgerton as his Orc partner), but sets it on an international stage.”
The sequel script has been worked on by Ayer, Evan Spiliotopoulos and T.S. Nowlin.
