Christian Bale has officially signed on to appear in the sequel to Michael Mann’s 1995 film, Heat. News of his involvement has been circulating since November, but he has now confirmed the reports.
The actor shared the news while promoting his new movie, The Bride!, which also stars Jessie Buckley, known for her role in Hamnet.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson mentioned in an interview with Fox 32 News that he plans to return to Chicago shortly to film Heat 2, and didn’t offer any further details.
What to Read Next
Details about the film are currently limited, but Michael Mann—who previously directed Christian Bale in Public Enemies—is developing it. The project is based on a sequel novel Mann wrote in 2022.
This novel tells a story that moves back and forth in time, spanning the late 1980s, mid-1990s, and the year 2000. The narrative unfolds across different continents, acting as both a beginning and an continuation of previous stories.
Several other well-known actors are also being considered for the film, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Austin Butler, Adam Driver, and Stephen Graham.
I’m so excited! Now that Gareth Bale has officially signed on, and filming is starting any minute, we’re finally going to find out if all those rumors we’ve been hearing are actually true. It feels like we won’t have to wait much longer!
Since Amazon MGM Studios will distribute Heat 2, it will probably be available to stream on Prime Video and MGM+ after a possible theatrical release.
Early reviews for the new movie, The Bride!, are starting to come out, and it seems like it will be another critically acclaimed film for Sadie Buckley, following her recent success just a few months ago.
Critics are applauding the work of both actors Buckley and Bale. Director Maggie Gyllenhaal has delivered a film described as daring and original – a fresh and passionate reimagining of the traditional monster movie.
Heat 2 does not currently have a release date.
The latest issue of Living Legends, a vibrant, full-colour 100-page tribute to Taylor Swift, is now available! You can purchase it at newsagents or online for only £8.99.
