![]() Looking way ahead into the future, there is a potential for two vastly popular film series, including this one to be fused into one explosive outing in the present day. The rest of it is pretty tough to predict given that all we know about the sequel is that one line from Theron but there is also another interesting direction that ‘Atomic Blonde’ could take. May seem like more than she can handle at first, but that is what should add to the stakes to be worthy of a sequel. Since we are already out on a limb and speculating, why not speculate a defected Lorraine Broughton at odds with the MI6, and on the run from CIA and the KGB. History as such is rife with socio-political events that shaped the very world, akin to the fall of the Berlin Wall, so that there should really be no problem at all. ![]() ![]() If the makers decide to go the route for a direct sequel, the plot could chart her travels to international waters in line with the typical spy espionage thriller, especially considering she vanquished all her foes from the last film.Īnother potential direction could be to show Lorraine Broughton following a time shift and land her in the 90s maybe. Since ‘Atomic Blonde’ anyway takes a handful of liberties from the original graphic novel, a similar change for the second one to introduce Lorraine Broughton earlier on wouldn’t seem too off the charts. A prequel for the same titled ‘The Coldest Winter’ was released in 2016, but that one sees a change in its primary protagonist to David Percival. The original is based on the graphic novel ‘The Coldest City’ by Antony Johnston. While there is no official word, the first direction for where the sequel could head in comes in from a literary source. Well, count me in that, but I am completely game for a sequel and ONE of the directions that the franchise may potentially take literally has me weak in the knees. Now while that alone is not enough reason by itself for a film to return with a sequel, the makers have in a rare statement claimed that the sequel is for a latent fan base of sorts, small but concentrated. In fact, the first film closed out with a respectable number, a $100 million in return for a $30 million investment, on top of a very favourable critical score. I for one cannot wait for the return of the killer queen! Atomic Blonde 2 Plot: What is it about? “We’re working on a sequel” is currently all that we have on this following her appearance at the San Francisco International Film Festival, and quite honestly, that is enough for us to go on. While the sequel hasn’t officially been announced, Charlize Theron herself came on record stating that the sequel would most definitely be happening. Theron was especially in her element given how she had already established a footing for herself in the genre with hits including ‘ Mad Max: Fury Road’ and ‘Fast and Furious 8’, the latter in fact releasing the same year. Despite the year being practically loaded with action movies, for me, ‘ Atomic Blonde’ managed to stand out on the strength of its merits, finely executed action sequences and simply outstanding visual style. ![]() She is hardly the first femme fatale on screen, but she can arguably be credited as one of the foremost ones, with say, Black Widow coming in a close second. That all changed in 2017 when ‘ Atomic Blonde’ was released with Charlize Theron playing a deadly MI6 agent operating at the cusp of the Cold War in Berlin. However, the same may rarely be said for a franchise led by a female action star: to begin with, there would hardly be a name that would have come to mind. Alternate stream of thought coming in from that, I would not be too wrong in saying that an entire legion of male actors have successfully either revived their careers or based it on the success of action franchises that began with a successful first and followed it up with definitely bigger, but maybe not better sequels. ![]()
