Lucy 2: Luc Besson claims that a second part is unlikely .

In the days in which we live, the blockbusters come predetermined standard with sequels, the wish nor the members of the audience. Long before The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hit theaters, Sony already had planned release dates for a third and fourth installment. And James Gunn confirmed Guardians of the Galaxy 2 just before the Guardians of the Galaxy reached the big screen. As with Lucy doing better than expected in worldwide box office, we could assume that they would be working on a sequel. But for now, why do not apostéis.

Luc Besson was asked about the possibility of a sequel while promoting Lucy in Taiwan. But he threw a bucket of cold to the hopes of the fans said water when the local media (via THR) that a continuation of the story was “unlikely.” Besson said:

“I do not see how we could carry it out. Not made for it. If I find something good enough, perhaps consider, but for now not even think about it . “

Luc Besson confirmed in the interview that Universal has approached him available to know when to reunite the band, which is understandable. While “proven” franchises action like The Mercenaries die at the box office (with difficulty reach 30 million in USA), Lucy has already exceeded $ 113 million in North America and adds extraordinary $ 216 million worldwide. Variety noted that the film was number one in international territories such as Asia, the Middle East and Europe, including Israel, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.

Lucy definitely set to Scarlett Johansson as a bankable star of the action beyond the confines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where Black Widow delivers justice with Captain America and The Avengers .

But this sequel looks dead from the beginning. It is not the first time that Luc Besson receives bids for expanding universes on the big screen that has preferred to maintain alone. The director has been repeatedly asked about the possibility of carrying out a sequel to his successful Leon: The Professional , possibly telling the story of the character played by Natalie Portman. Nevertheless, Besson keeps the doors open, stating that if a good idea comes to him, could tell more stories with a real interest and original characters. It seems strange today to see sequels that are dictated by their scripts and not for revenue collection desires of studies .
