World War Z 2 – expect a title tweak! – is a 2017 American post-apocalyptic action horror movie directed by Juan Antonia Bayona (The Orphanage; Penny Dreadful) from a screenplay by Steven Knight. It is obviously a sequel to Paramount Pictures 2013 $190 million blockbuster World War Z.
Despite mainly negative reviews, the first film took $540 million at the box office, before residual sales such as Blu-ray, DVD, VOD. Brad Pitt is returning to star. The sequel will apparently focus on new characters and plot points taken from Max Brooks’ original storylines.
The film is currently set to be released on the June 9, 2017, the same day as 20th Century Fox’s Fantastic Four sequel, though media commentators suggest that this is likely to change.
