Atomic Blonde sequel might be backed by a streaming service

The director of Atomic Blonde, David Leitch, has expressed the possibility of Atomic Bland 2 as he believes it is still being discussed and might be made by a streaming service.

The 2017 film starred Charlize Theron as Lorraine Broughton. In the movie, we see Theron as a lethal spy on a mission to recover a list of double agents in Berlin. The spy-thriller set in the Cold War was a film adaptation based on Antony Johnstonā€™s graphic novel The Coldest City. Starring alongside Theron in the film is James McAvoy. Atomic Blonde easily became one of the best movies in 2017 with its action-packed sequences and outstanding visuals.

Since its release, interest in a sequel existed from the get-go. Leitch, in particular, was pretty excited about the chance to make a sequel as he expressed his hopes even before the films theatrical debut. In 2018 the filmā€™s star, Theron, confirmed that Atomic Blonde 2 was in the works when she appeared at the San Francisco International Film Festival. The South-African actress didnā€™t give away other details about the highly-anticipated sequel.

ā€œI think there is [still talk of a sequel]. I donā€™t know all the details. I was a work-for-hire on that movie, but at the end of the day, Kelly McCormick ā€“ my producing partner and my wife ā€“ she will be involved, Iā€™m sure, as a producer. Thatā€™s how I got the gig in the first place. Weā€™ll see,ā€ Leitch said about the potential sequel.

The director didnā€™t specify which streaming platform will be behind Atomic Blonde 2 as his comments are pretty non-committal.
