Jolie 'best kept out of 'Wanted' sequel'

Wanted creator Mark Millar has said that Angelina Jolie's non-involvement in the film's sequel is "more authentic".

However, Millar - who today revealed that Wanted 2 was going ahead without the actress - admitted that she was "the star of the show".

He told STV: "So they put something together, and it was bringing Angelina back from the dead and everything.

"I don't know, I think that probably just didn't sit easily with her, because it has to be a really good reason why somebody comes back from the dead," Millar said of Jolie's decision not to reprise her role in the film.

Millar added of Jolie's character: "I think it's actually more authentic if they keep her dead. She was the star of the movie really, but how cool is it to have the star dead and bring in another cool character for the next one.

"What I heard was that there's filming this year for a release at the end of next year, so the plot that they had will have some modifications now, her character will have to be written out completely. We'll see what happens.

"I don’t know, it changes every day. Again, things get so out of your hands with film because 300 people are involved, whereas with comics it's just you and your artist."
