Angelina Jolie to return for 'Wanted 2'?

Rex Features

Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov has claimed that he has devised a way to bring Angelina Jolie back for a sequel.

Jolie's assassin Fox dies at the end of the 2008 comic book adaptation, but the Russian-Kazakh filmmaker revealed to MTV that he will resurrect the character for the planned follow-up.

"If you remember from the first film, we have a recovery room with the baths of wax," he said. "We know how to do this, but it's still tough to do, because the bullet is inside her head."

He continued: "There has to be a reason for her to come back... and we know the reason. I think we found the reason for her to come back."

Wanted, based on the Mark Millar comic series, starred James McAvoy as an office worker who discovers that he is the son of a notorious assassin.
