6 Underground Sequel Release Date

What To Expect From 6 Underground 2 (1)

Netflix hasn’t officially announced6 Underground 2, though a sequel has apparently always been in the works.When the original film was first announced in May 2018, initial reports implied that Bay was planning for a proper franchise, and 6 Underground does indeed set up not just one but several sequels. Given 6 Underground’s blockbuster appeal and collective star power, Netflix can expect high streaming numbers, even if the film doesn’t receive flattering reviews.Since the sequel hasn't been officially announced there's obviously no release date yet. Given Reynolds' busy schedule and the scale of this kind of production, 6 Underground 2 is unlikely to release before 2022.

In theory, 6 Underground 2 will most likelyhappen. Not only that, 6 Underground appears to set up eight sequels given the number of case files on the wall at the squad's California headquarters. It's unclear who the 6 Underground crew will battle next, but the franchise could certainlyexplore uncertainties abouteach member's past. On the surface, One remains the most mysterious. But consider this: 6 Undergroundalso reveals little about Arjona's doctor character, Five.6 Underground 2 will mostly likely take place in various international cities, and have a budget that will match or exceed the first installment's $150 million cost.

"You know, as an actor, we’re always in that stage of where’s our next meal coming, where’s our next job coming? So for an actor to do a series of nine movies would be probably pretty great. That’s a very uptown problem to happen. I don’t know, they’d have to be completely reinvented each time."

However, Reynolds is definitely down for 6 Underground 2, just with a different narrative feel:

"I don’t know, I think it’d be fun to just get some sort of Thomas Crown vibes in there, like an old-school kind of heist. Like Eastern Europe kind of heist movie."

Both Laurent (Two) and Hawkins (Seven) want to make 6 Underground 2for Netflix because of where it could take them, both literally and figuratively. Laurent described her Italian experience as"a dream," and Hawkins feels the same way:

"Italy was amazing, it was so beautiful. I mean, literally driving through Florence and Siena and Rome...and blowing stuff up and having people run down the top of the Duomo - people actually did that, and it’s never been done before."
