Director Chris McKay offers an update on Chris Pratt’s Tomorrow War 2 after years of silence, confirming development is still underway on the sequel.
A few years after the first film set records for Prime Video, The Tomorrow War 2 has finally gotten an update from director Chris McKay. Chris Pratt led the ensemble cast of the 2021 sci-fi actioner as Dan Forester, a former Green Beret in 2022 who is recruited by soldiers that have traveled back from the year 2051 to fight an invading alien force that has nearly wiped out humanity in the future. Marking the live-action directorial debut of McKay, the film garnered largely mixed reviews, with praise directed at Pratt, Sam Richardson and the action sequences.
While speaking with Uproxx to discuss his work on the horror-comedy Renfield, Chris McKay reflected on his experience with Chris Pratt’s The Tomorrow War and its streaming success. When asked about the previously announced sequel, of which there’s been no word in two years, the director offered a promising update on the project, confirming that “there is a script coming for that” in the near future.
See McKay’s reflection of the film below:
Yeah, because they released it worldwide on the same day. Literally, they released it around the world. I still get DMs from people from India and Brazil, and people who are discovering it, who loved that movie and loved the characters and stuff like that. Ultimately, it was a really great experience. But it was one of those things where, of course, you’re making a movie for the theaters. And then the movie was done and they were like, “No, we’re going to put it on a streamer.” It was a little bit of a hard pill to swallow because I’d seen it in theaters and I’d seen how it played. And still to this day, it still plays on Amazon. It’s still one of their number one movies to this day.
