Wanted isn’t due out until next Friday, but that hasn’t stopped Universal from inking a sequel according to First Showing!

Granted, I’m all for more gunfighting action from James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie. But doesn’t this seem a bit soon? They don’t even know if it’ll make its budget back yet. But it is based on a graphic novel, so I guess they hope it follows the 300 box office path.

Is Hollywood really this obsessed with sequels? Perhaps, the sequel madness is contagious. I did just read about the sequel to District B13 and The Descent.

An action movie with James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, and Angelina Jolie? And it’s directed by the the guy who gave us Night Watch and the sequel Day Watch, the highest grossing Russian movies of all time?

Sign me up, please.

Forget about iron men, racers, lions of Narnia, or sexy girls in the city. I think Wanted is a summer blockbuster I can get behind. The assassin frenzy hits theaters on June 27th.
