It seems a follow-up has been in production somewhat under-the-radar in the Dominican Republic however, with comedy site Chortle breaking details on it this week.
Anna Kendrick apparently stars, pictured on Instagram on set wearing FBI uniform, a bulletproof vest and holding a rifle, joined by Kayvan Novak (Four Lions), James Adomian (Hits), Danielle Brooks (Orange is the New Black), Denis O'Hare (True Blood), Pej Vahdat (Bones) and Mousa Kraish (American Gods).
Plot details for unknown for the film, which is co-produced by See-Saw Films and Archer Grey Productions and financed by Film 4, which was also behind Four Lions.
Vahdat described the shoot on Instagram as "by far one of the best experiences of my life. This film is going to be absolutely epic and I can't wait for you all to see it," while Simon Four Lions writer Simon Blackwell previously teased to The Hollywood Reporter: "I’m aware of what [Morris is] cooking, but I can’t show you the menu I’m afraid.
"He has an elite troop of killers who will come and get you. He’s doing something marvellous, as you would expect."
