Kirsten Stewart replaces Angelina Jolie in ‘Wanted 2’
“Wanted,” starring Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy, though panned by critics, turned out to be a success at the box-office. The big surprise was when Angelina Jolie revealed that she wants to play no more in the sequel.
The movie team had a difficult work to find another star that would bring at least as much success for the movie.
It was decided that the 'Twilight' star Kirsten Stewart will get the female role in Wanted 2.
“Kristen Stewart is a Wanted woman! Sources tell E! News that the studio and director behind the sequel to Wanted have expressed interest in snagging K.Stew to follow in Angelina Jolie’s footsteps as the female lead, starring alongside James McAvoy. While details are still pretty scarce, Stewart’s character would be a young assassin in the Fraternity. So is Stewart in, and Angie out? It’s too early to tell if the film is even gonna happen, but it’s not looking good for A,” E! writes.
“Our insider says Kristen was approached to fill Jolie’s hot-woman void in the franchise and met at least once with Timur Bekmambetov, the director of the series. However, Angelina’s participation in the project is still up in the air. While her character died in the first installment of the film, Bekmambetov told MTV that he would bring her back in some capacity, in the sequel. Only problem is A.J. reportedly backed out of the film. We hear details (aka money and exactly how much time she’d need to give to the flick) were never worked out, which is why Angelina is out, for now – but she could possibly make a cameo if the film actually happens,” the same publication further writes.
Can't wait to see how Kirsten Stewart will handle the movie.
