Yesterday, when promoting the upcoming new film "Rebecca", Hammer said that he would like to make a sequel to "Secret Agent". Hammer said, "Someone asked me, are you going to make a sequel?" The answer is: I hope so! I would love to. "
Five years ago, The Secret Agent, directed by Guy Ritchie, was released based on the classic spy TV series of the 1960s. In the film, Henry Cavill and Amy Hammer play CIA agents and KGB agents, respectively.
With the help of the daughter of a missing German scientist (Alicia Vikander), the two set out to prevent a potential global catastrophe. In addition, Elizabeth Debic, Jared Harris and Hugh Grant also starred in the film.
Although the film is not a big hit at the box office from any point of view, over time, fans' love for it has only increased. Therefore, the topic around potential sequels has always existed.
The film's exquisite style, sharp humor, cool costumes and chemical reaction between the two lead actors have made fans have been asking for a sequel since its release.
As it turns out, it's not just fans who want to see it happen.
This isn't the first time Hammer has expressed interest in making a sequel.
In 2017, he revealed that he had called the film's writer and producer, Lionel Wigram, to ask him to write a sequel, and Wigram agreed. In 2018, Hammer said he and Wigram had been discussing the idea of a sequel.
Given that director Guy Ritchie still has a lot of piled-up work on hand. It's still hard to say if the Secret Agent sequel will materialize. The first sluggish film box office could prevent the film project from being approved.
However, the film has attracted a legion of fans over the past few years who still want to see the return of the spy duo.
