The original Spy movie, which was directed by Ghostbusters helmer Paul Feig, was a stand-out in his pretty solid career resume, and it comes as no surprise that the filmmaker may want to return for a sequel sometime in the future.
Speaking on the press tour for Ghostbusters with UK film mag Empire, Feig said that “[Spy is] another world that I don’t want to walk away from. It’s the first thing I did that I set up to be a possible franchise and Melissa [McCarthy] is dying to do it. I have a story for it, and a funny idea that will kick it off that involves Statham”.
“Susan Cooper is one of my favourite characters I’ve ever come up with,” continues Feig, “but Rick Ford is possibly the one I’ll take to the grave with me. Will he get any more self-aware in the sequel? No, god no. He’ll get less self-aware.”
No news on when this will happen of course, though we’re expecting Ghostbusters to be a massive hit and there will be initial demand for sequels to that first.
We’ll keep you updated.
