‘Attack the Block 2’: Fans Receive Big Update from Surprising Source

Fans of Attack the Block finally have some new information about the long-awaited sequel. During a recent Reddit AMA promoting his movie The Running Man, director Edgar Wright was asked about Attack the Block 2. Wright said the film isn’t his project, but confirmed that Joe Cornish, who wrote and directed the original, is currently working on it.

“Not my movie, but Joe has written a sequel and hopes to make it next year,” Wright shared.

The original Attack the Block premiered in 2011 and quickly became a cult favorite. The movie follows a group of teenagers in South London who must protect their block from an alien invasion. While it did not make a big splash at the box office, it was praised by critics and audiences alike.

The film starred John Boyega, whose career took off after the movie, alongside Jodie Whittaker, Alex Esmail, Franz Drameh, Leeon Jones, Simon Howard, Luke Treadaway, Jumayn Hunter, and Nick Frost.

Fans have been asking for a sequel for years. In 2021, it was officially announced, with Boyega set to return as the lead. Since that announcement, updates have been rare, though Boyega did confirm earlier this year that the script for the sequel had been completed.

With production expected to start next year, excitement is building among fans who have waited over a decade for the story to continue.
