The sequel to Bright was announced after the release of the first film released in 2017. Now coming in 5 years later, it is still unclear where the sequel in developing is mainly because of the famous Oscar slap Smith. This is all we know so far about Bright 2.Released on December 22, 2017, Bright is a new Fantasy Thriller film starring Joel Edgerton and Will Smith. The film is set in an alternative Los Angeles where humans live with Orcs and other mythical creatures.
At the time of the release, Netflix noted that it was one of the releases of the biggest film ever. The film was mainly released before Netflix reported 2 minutes statistics or hourly statistics, therefore, we did not know how well a bright stack over the years later. It was then reported that 60 million Netflix users watched the film even though it was not clear about what time period this ended.
On January 3, 2018 Netflix confirmed the sequel to be tentatively again named Bright 2 (the confirmation teaser below also suggested joking names such as brighter and more poor in Mordor, Orcs Wild and Wild Wars).So with all the time passed since the announcement, where we were with a sequel that was expected to see the return of Will Smith and Joel Edgerton in their respective roles. It was also reported that films would likely go to international in sequels.
Time of development on Bright 2 so far
As we stated above, we came in half a decade since the first film was released. The sequel was confirmed more than four years ago in early January. Following the announcement, under the job find find noted that “casting has been going on” on January 8, 2018.David Ayer was announced to remind the script (although Evan Spiliotopoulos was then purchased into rewriting) with Eric Newman and Bryan did not specting back (this pair worked with Netflix based on the overall agreement).
Various insights report that Grand Electric, Clubhouse Pictures, and Crave Films will all return to produce films 2019 is a big year for filming films that reportedly plan to start in the summer (specifically July) that year. It never produced results, but with the Will Smith scheduling conflict seemed to cause detention.
Of course, in 2020, very few who came down from the ground because Covid-19 prevents production begin to walk which seems to cause rethinking around the script. It was confirmed on May 2020 when the deadline revealed that David Ayer no longer directed films and Louis Lemerrier was contested for the role of the Board of Directors The last main update we heard about Bright is through interviews that cover all with the Head of the Netflix film, Scott Stuber in 2021. Interviews, published at the end of July 2021, mentioned very detailed:
“It [Netflix] is close to having the last script for” Bright 2, “who will bring back the original stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton,”Also in July, production has stated that filming (or production at least) is because it is taking place in the fall of 2021. We do not have confirmation about it. Another addition to the production list is T.S. Nowlin, recently working on the Adam Netflix project, is in the writing team. Nowlin was also involved with the film franchise of the Runner labyrinth.
In the fall of 2021, Netflix released anime spin-off bright: Samurai Soul which was released in October 2021 with a little without kilanaan.Since the release of anime film, no one was announced about the future of the franchise.
Many are now afraid, the project has been stopped or placed in the back burner after killing Will Smith’s projects canceled or stopped. They were stopped because of Smith’s actions at the Oscar where he slapped Chris Rock who told the jokes at the expense of his wife. After Oscar, Indiewire reported that Smith was still perforated to repeat his role in the sequel.
Netflix itself stops the Smith project in the form of a film that will come quickly and loosely. Hollywood reporter first solved the news but did not mention Bright 2 or Cobra Kai (a show that Smith functions as an executive manufacturer) and their future.That’s all we know about the bright sequel now. We will keep you posted on all bright things 2 here on what’s on Netflix.
