While "World War Z 2" release date will not be arriving anytime soon, the publication claimed that the sequel is now in the works.
Oscar-nominated writer Steven Knight is already done with the first draft of the script. Talking to Screen Rant Knight discussed some details of the sequel.
"I think the beauty of the first film was the way that it never paused for breath. It never spent a moment thinking, 'Hang on a minute, we'd better tell the audience what this is all about.' It stayed in the moment, it stayed with that person", Knight said.
As per Collider, "World War Z 2" is going to stick to the single POV with Knight telling Indie Wire that the sequel will start with a "clean slate"
"I thought, 'Why not? What fun,'" he said of working on the sequel. "It's not quite like the other, we're starting with clean slate. When they've signed off we're on."
