20th Century Fox is reportedly interested in Spanish commercial director Daniel Benmayor to work the latest script treatment by Daniel Casey. The plot of Hitman 2 will will follow story elements from the unreleased Hitman 5 video game where Agent 47 is beaten and broken and must return to the glory of being the elite assassin he once was. There is no word as of yet if Timothy Olyphant will return for the lead role although the studio reportedly has an option on his contract.
Hitman 2 has no release date, but is set for a fall production start.
