Deadline reports that following a hugely successful streaming debut for The Tomorrow War on Amazon Prime Video, Skydance and Amazon Studios are already in talks to develop a sequel.
Director Chris McKay and screenwriter Zach Dean are expected to return, while the original cast will also be enlisted. That includes Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, Betty Gilpin, Sam Richardson, Edwin Hodge, and J.K. Simmons, and if you've watched the movie, there's at least one name there that should come as a surprise.
Paramount Pictures, the studio that originally developed The Tomorrow War before offloading it to Amazon for $200 million, will be involved. Clearly, this is being looked at as a property with serious franchise potential, something we know the streamer is looking for moving forward.
The critical response to the movie may have been mixed (it has 54% on Rotten Tomatoes), but The Tomorrow War quickly went to the top of streaming charts over the weekend and has been well-received by viewers with an average of 4.5/5 on Amazon.
In our review of the sci-fi blockbuster, we concluded by saying, "The Tomorrow War shatters expectations, and despite hitting a few familiar notes along the way, this surprisingly emotional action-packed blockbuster proves to be a fun ride and one that showcases the talents of Chris Pratt and Yvonne Strahovski."
