In a recent interview with Unilad, Butler was asked about the second film, and for fans who have been waiting for news on the sequel, Butler has great news.
“We’re supposed to shoot early next year. We’re Europe-bound, we’re still on the hunt for Donnie who’s now on the diamond district in Marseilles,” Butler said. “I go over to hunt him down, but with different intentions than you might imagine. So we’re gonna be in Marseilles, the Alps, and London – it’s definitely a more glamorous journey than the last one, and probably a more fun, sexy journey.”
