After years, John Travolta and Nicolas Cage could reprise their iconic roles together in “Face/Off 2” movie.
Sequel Development and Cast Speculations
Rumors suggest that John Travolta and Nicolas Cage might share the screen again in Face/Off 2 movie. Although these claims have not been officially confirmed yet, this possibility has excited sci-fi fans.
The 1997 American science fiction thriller film, Face/Off, is gearing up for a sequel adventure years later. Directed by John Woo, the film, with a budget of $80 million, grossed $245 million worldwide and has become a cult classic in its genre.
Released in 1997, Face/Off portrayed the story of FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) taking on the identity of the criminal Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage), who had killed his son through a face transplant surgery.
While Nicolas Cage’s involvement in the new production has been previously indicated, John Travolta’s participation was not confirmed. According to Daniel Ritchtman, known for his Hollywood insider news, producers have initiated discussions to bring the two stars together.
The cast of the new Face/Off film has not been officially announced yet. So far, what is known is that Adam Wingard, the director of Godzilla vs. Kong: The New Empire, will helm the project.
Wingard has previously stated that the film will directly connect to the original, leaving fans curious about how the characters will return.
Nicolas Cage’s Thoughts on the Sequel
Nicolas Cage, speaking to Collider, commented on the sequel:
“I think Face/Off is a sequel that lends itself to a lot of twists and turns and unpredictability. It’s almost like if you factor in the idea of offspring and Castor and Sean having children and these children grow up, then it becomes like three-dimensional chess, and then it’s not just the two, John Travolta and myself, it’s four of us ping-ponging and going at different levels, and it becomes even more complex. I think there’s a lot of fertile ground there. I had maybe one meeting in an office, but I haven’t heard anything since, so I don’t know.”
The pre-development of Face/Off 2 was delayed due to last summer’s writer’s strike. Adam Wingard announced in March that a new writer had revisited the script, and once that’s done, he and his script partner Simon Barrett will review it for possible changes.
Therefore, it is currently unknown when the production will move into the filming stage and which actors will be involved.
