Gal Gadot Drops Exciting Red Notice 2 Script Update and Exclusive Details on Netflix's Record-Breaking Action Phenomenon

Gal Gadot recently provided an exciting update on the script for Red Notice 2 amidst Netflix's ongoing streak of successful action films. With a major lineup of action movies planned, Netflix has already found success with Extraction 2, starring Chris Hemsworth, and The Mother, featuring Jennifer Lopez, which surpassed Martin Scorsese's The Irishman on the streamer's Top 10. Red Notice, which garnered record-breaking numbers, paved the way for two sequels to be greenlit, with Gadot, Dwayne Johnson, and Ryan Reynolds set to return.

During an interview with Collider to discuss her upcoming Netflix action adventure Heart of Stone, Gadot remained tight-lipped about the sequel's story details. However, she did mention that she has received the script for the first of the two follow-ups and that discussions are underway for potential filming to begin in the near future. Read her statement below for more information.

We're all talking about it. I don't know if I can say anything! I already read the second script and it’s… whoo! We're all very excited about it!

What To Expect From Red Notice 2

Gadot's latest update brings a glimmer of hope, considering that the last update on Red Notice 2 came all the way back in October. Back then, producers Beau Flynn and Hiram Garcia left us reassured by confirming that the script for the second installment was fully completed, while Red Notice 3 was close to being finished. From the get-go, the plan was to shoot both sequels consecutively. However, the producers have acknowledged that these plans might change, as they heavily rely on the cast and crew's feedback on the scripts, as well as their increasingly hectic schedules.

The actors' positive feedback about the script, as confirmed by Flynn and Garcia, is encouraging, especially Gadot's excitement. With the approval of the main cast, it appears likely that production could begin soon. However, due to the ongoing Writer's Guild of America strike, where writers are unable to contribute new material on set, director Rawson Marshall Thurber penning both scripts may cause production to be delayed.

For Red Notice 2, Gadot, Johnson, and Reynolds have been confirmed to return, but it is currently unknown if any other cast members from the previous film, such as Rita Arya's Inspector Urvashi Das, will appear. Flynn and Garcia have hinted that both sequels will have ensemble casts similar to the Ocean's franchise. Considering the skepticism surrounding the sequel after the first movie's poor reception, it is hopeful that the creative team is focused on addressing these issues for an improved sequel.
