We got a pretty good library over there with, not only Shooter, with The Italian Job, even Four Brothers, The Fighter.
Further, Wahlberg expressed his excitement at the thought of reuniting with other cast members, if the sequel were to happen. He said, “Anywhere I go for the last 20 years, people are always coming up to me about that movie. They don’t always turn out the way you want. But that particular movie? If myself, Antoine Fuqua , and if they get Michael Peña back, that would be very cool.”
Shooter is based on Stephen Hunter’s 1993 novel Point of Impact. Given that there are several other novels in the Hunter’s Bob Lee Swagger series, a sequel could be developed using these books as source material.Ishita Verma is an SEO contributing writer for ComingSoon.
