Glen Powell’s Hit Man recently hit Netflix and fans who enjoyed the film are wondering whether a Hit Man 2 will be coming out and if so, whether a release date has been set for it. Loosely based on the 2001 Texas Monthly magazine article “Hit Man” by Skip Hollandsworth, the story follows an undercover New Orleans police contractor who assumes the guise of a reliable hitman to help save a woman in danger from her abusive husband.
Here’s all the Hit Man 2 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Hit Man 2 release date?
Hit Man 2 does not have an official release date, but it will likely be announced in the future.
Richard Linklater, Hit Man’s director and Netflix have not yet confirmed a Hit Man 2 as of this writing.
Chances of a Hit Man 2 happening are dependent on the streaming success of the film on Netflix, considerable fan interest and demand for a sequel. Moreover, Hit Man’s viewership is also a key factor. If many people watch Hit Man and help increase its standing in the streaming platform, then only will the chances of a sequel increase.
However, there is also a likelihood that Hit Man 2 may not happen. This is because Linklater has only ever had one film, Before Sunrise with sequels. The rest of his films have been standalone stories.
Since a Hit Man 2 has not been confirmed, there is no confirmed cast for the film. However, if it happens, then Glen Powell will likely reprise his role as Gary Johnson.
Where is Hit Man 2 coming out?
Hit Man 2 could come out on Netflix.
This is because Hit Man premiered on Netflix. Thus, if this situation repeated, then Hit Man 2 could also drop on the same platform.
Since Hit Man 2 has not been confirmed, it is unknown what the story will entail. However, the creatives may very likely need to develop a fresh story since there is no other story to adapt. The first Hit Man movie adapted the tale entailed in Skip Hollandsworh’s 2001 Texas Monthly magazine article.
