As Netflix has apparently hired a director and orchestrated the return of Bright stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton for Bright 2, the most obvious question fans of the original film have is what exactly the sequel will be about. Unfortunately, even though the screenplay for Bright 2 has been finished and polished, the studio is keeping plot details for the film tightly under wraps.
So, yeah, if we’re being completely honest, we’re required to tell you we really haven’t the slightest idea what Bright 2 will be about. But as the return of both Smith and Edgerton has been confirmed, you can bet much of the action will again unfold in the mean streets of Los Angeles, and that it will find the odd couple of the L.A.P.D. plunged headlong in to the middle of some sprawling magical adventure.
Even as a return to L.A. is all but certain, according to that Collider piece, at least part of Bright 2 is expected to open the world up in terms of magical madness occurring on the international stage. Whether that means Smith’s and Edgerton’s officers will find themselves visiting parts unknown while running down their new case, or that said case will bring international elements to Los Angeles, remains very much a mystery.
As we’ve mentioned, it seems likely we’ve got a long wait ahead before we actually find out, so you’ll want to be sure and stay tuned for updates on Bright 2.
