Lucy
Summary
As the filmmaker mounts a return to the conductor ’s chair , Luc Besson has a disappointing update onLucy 2 . The 2014 moviestarred Scarlett Johanssonas the titular American student in Taiwan who , after inexplicably becoming a drug scuff , begins developing superhuman power from the drugs she ’s intend to be transporting . marking mixed - to - prescribed review and amassing an telling $ 469 million box office haulage against its $ 40 million production budget , talks have purl in the years since about a potential follow - up .
During a recent interview withThe Playlistfor his upcoming play thrillerDogman , Besson was asked about whetherLucy 2will come to realization . The author / theatre director revealed that the reports about the sequel over the years have been " news show to him " and indicated that he has not been approached to direct or formulate any follow - up to his hit movie . mark out what Besson shared below :
Yeah , I heard that [ was happen ] . I even record that . Yeah , I was glad to hear [ it . ] I said , " Oh ? Give me the script . " You cognise , that ’s the job sometimes with the internet is I do n’t know where [ the entropy ] get from . Sometimes , I see that my name is on a movie that I have n’t been aware of .
How The Lucy Franchise Could Return (Without A Sequel)
Despite this seemingly conclusive end , there are still path aLucyfollow - up could take . The primary option is one that ’s already say to be in the works , as it was announced in late 2022 that a spinoff TV show was in ontogenesis at EuropaCorp and Village Roadshow center on Freeman ’s graphic symbol . Though plot details remain under wraps for the time being , it seems potential the show will take post after the events of the moving-picture show , follow Professor Norman as he further inquire what transpire prior . This could in turn extend him to come up more people with similar abilities to Lucy .
While it ’s been some time since the Freeman - run show was announced , the other likely choice forLucy 2would be to explore what happened to Johansson ’s lineament after the close of the first flick . Some hearing have find themselves still baffled by the original picture show ’s equivocal ending , and though a sequel would risk some viewers ' appreciation of its lack of direct explanations , it is still potential for Besson or another film producer to come in and find a mode to bridge the gap between the two side without undermining the original , much likeDenis Villeneuve withBlade Runner 2049 .
