I really enjoyed Wanted, and when I heard they were doing a sequel I was intrigued. But when they said Angelina Jolie signed on, I figured it was a prequel. Spoiler alert… her character dies in Wanted. But then it was reported it would be a sequel, and I lost any interest at all. That’s just dumb.
Well finally Jolie has come forward to share why she won’t be involved in Wanted 2.
ComingSoon briefly chatted with Jolie recently, and she basically said that she’s done with her killer character from “Wanted” because she sees no reason to bring her back from the dead. And she’s right.
I loved Jolie and her character in the first movie, but it would just seem odd for her to return. She said, “They were (trying to bring me back) but I kind of feel like if I die in a movie, I should die actually.”
I could just imagine the phonecall to Jolie.
Agent: “We want you to be in Wanted 2!”
Jolie:”You have SEEN Wanted right?”
Click.
No drama, no scandal, just logic. It didn’t make sense, so she turned it down. A rare quality it seems, in an industry ruled by money you think they might have tried harder to ruin the sequel. Well there is still hope.
So why was Sean Connery in Highlander 2 again? Wait. Why was there a Highlander 2??
