Released on Netflix back in March of this year, the science fiction action movie War Machine starring Alan Ritchson has proven to be a massive hit, and it’s now getting a sequel.

Deadline reports that Patrick Hughes (The Hitman’s Bodyguard, The Expendables 3) will return to direct War Machine 2 for Netflix, with Alan Ritchson likely returning to star.

The outlet notes, “Since bowing on March 26, War Machine has reached 139 million views on Netflix, making it one of the top ten most popular original films to ever bow on the streamer.”

In War Machine, during the final stage of US Army Ranger selection, an elite team’s training exercise turns into a fight for survival against an unimaginable threat.

Alan Ritchson stars with Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, Blake Richardson, Keiynan Lonsdale, and Daniel Webber.

Patrick Hughes will co-write War Machine 2 with James Beaufort.

Greg McLean (Wolf Creek) is on board to produce.

Paul Le wrote in his review of War Machine for Bloody Disgusting, “It just goes to show how influential a movie like Predator is—we’re still getting imitations all these years later. This new clash between military brawn and extraterrestrial precision gets points for simply going bigger with its alien antagonist, but nearly everything else in this movie is underwhelming.”

“War Machine doesn’t have to be the next Predator, but surely it could have been more entertaining,” Le adds in his review. “It’s bordering on lifeless and takes itself too seriously.”
