SPOILERS for The Wrecking Crew. Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa joined forces in The Wrecking Crew, a buddy-cop action-comedy that debuted on Prime Video last month. The film was well-received<\/a>, so could a follow-up be in order? In an interview for THR<\/a>, The Wrecking Crew director \u00c1ngel Manuel Soto told Andy Muschietti about a possible sequel.<\/p>\n

The Wrecking Crew Sequel<\/p>\n

The ending of the film finds Jonny (Momoa) given the name of the man who killed his mother on a slip of paper, but he chooses to burn it. In Soto\u2019s mind, Jonny memorized the name beforehand, leaving the door open for him to seek revenge in a sequel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are several things that seem interesting to me [for a sequel]. That\u2019s one of them,\u201d Soto explained. \u201cIf there\u2019s a killer on the loose, are they really going to let it go? I think there\u2019s a good beginning for the second one there. And the other thing that seems interesting to me is that the yakuza that they kill, Nakamura (Miyavi), he\u2019s not the boss, he\u2019s someone\u2019s son. It seems to me that there\u2019s material there for a sequel.\u201c<\/p>\n

What\u2019s The Wrecking Crew About?<\/p>\n

Set in the streets of Hawaii, The Wrecking Crew follows two estranged half-brothers, Jonny (Momoa) and James (Bautista), who are forced to reunite after their father\u2019s mysterious death. As they set out to uncover the truth, buried secrets resurface, and loyalties are tested, unveiling a conspiracy that can tear their family apart. Together, they are ready to WRECK\u00a0anything that gets in their way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The film was directed by Angel Manuel Soto (Blue Beetle) from a script by Jonathan Tropper (Star Wars: Starfighter). In addition to Bautista and Momoa, the film stars Claes Bang, Temuera Morrison, Jacob Batalon, Frankie Adams, Miyavi, with Stephen Root and Morena Baccarin.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next for Bautista and Momoa?<\/p>\n

Bautista is currently in the midst of shooting<\/a> Chad Stahelski\u2019s highly anticipated Highlander reboot. He plays the Kurgan. Production on Highlander was supposed to begin last fall, but was delayed after Henry Cavill was injured<\/a> during training.<\/p>\n

As for Momoa, he also has a significant role in his future, as he will be playing Lobo in the DCU. It\u2019s a character Momoa has wanted to play for a long time, and even playing Aquaman in the DCEU wasn\u2019t going to stand in his way. You can catch a glimpse of Momoa as Lobo in last month\u2019s Supergirl teaser<\/a>.<\/p>\n
