Last year’s sci-fi phenomena District 9 brought new opportunities for the star of the film, Sharlto Copley, who will appear as Murdock in The A-Team this summer. Empire recently spoke with Copley about his new film, but he also revealed some details on a follow-up to District 9.
Director Neill Blomkamp revealed back in January that he was also considering a prequel to the film, which Copley touched on as well.
“Neil wants it and I want it. Neil’s doing another film first. Then I think if everything goes according to plan we’ll do the second film in about two years time. That story can go in so many different ways. There¹s a whole universe. I’m sure a lot of writers say that, but we actually have an entire universe.”
We’ll be sure to keep you posted on any further details on a District 9 sequel or prequel as soon as we have more information.
“There’s a million ways you can go. Neil’s actually very interested in prequels as well; he’s said that a few times. We wouldn’t do the traditional Hollywood version of the sequel which would just be 100 aliens fighting humans.”
