Alan Ritchson has generated buzz about a possible continuation of the action movie War Machine. He recently suggested that a sequel is being considered, with early story ideas already in development.
Alan Ritchson says there’s tons of material for War Machine 2
While talking about the movie, actor Mike Ritchson revealed there’s already a lot of potential story for a sequel. Ritchson, who plays the character 81, explained that the team behind the film has been brainstorming ideas for what could happen next. He enthusiastically confirmed there’s “tons” of material and hinted that a follow-up, potentially titled ‘War Machines,’ could be even more ambitious. According to Screenrant, he said they have a lot planned for the next installment.
Director Patrick Hughes has revealed he’s been thinking about continuing the story since the film’s inception. While he initially crafted it as a self-contained movie, he also secretly planned potential storylines for sequels, something writers often do when creating a fictional universe. As a result, he already has a basic idea of where a follow-up film featuring character 81 could go, should Netflix decide to make one.
A major question fans have about the movie revolves around the character played by Ritchson, known only as ’81’. This tough soldier’s backstory remains a secret by the end of the first film. Ritchson hinted that more information will be revealed eventually, but playfully avoided giving any spoilers, saying, “We know the answers, but you’ll have to watch all eight sequels to find out!”
You know, I recently learned what inspired the creation of this character, and it’s really cool. The filmmaker told me it stems from those classic Westerns, especially the trope of the lone stranger riding into town – think of films like Pale Rider. He admitted he’s a huge fan of that ‘man with no name’ type of story, and it clearly influenced how this character came to life. It’s just a really strong storytelling structure that he loves.
