Red is based on a three issue comic book series published by DC Comics. It was created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner. The film adaptation in 2010 made $90 million domestically and a total of over $186.5 million worldwide.
Variety adds that production could be take some time to start because Willis' schedule is quite busy at the moment, while other members of the ensemble still aren't signed on for the sequel.
Red starred Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Karl Urban, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren.
