Now, and after the release of his book, “Heat 2”, Michael Mann, the director of the first film, confirmed that the sequel is “a big movie” and would also have the return of Al Pacino.
Thus, (in Spanish) Fuego contra fuego 2, could have Ana de Armas (Blonde and Blade Runner 2049) as the protagonist, in addition to Adam Driver and Austin Butler, according to new rumors. In addition, it is noted that this project by Michael Mann would also have Al Pacino returning to his role on the radar: “It is a new story that covers the first years of the lives of the Heat characters and is also a sequel that presents us with their future . It is the before and after of the movie, beginning a day after the end of Heat with a desperate Chris Shiherlis trying to escape from Los Angeles”, the film director had said about the release of this book.
Likewise, speculation suggests that Heat 2 would have a new leading face and Ana de Armas, who has already participated in various action titles, could be the ideal candidate for the role.
It is good to know that the aforementioned actress (of Cuban-Spanish origin) would be in negotiations, although nothing has been officially announced so far. In the middle of last year, Michael Mann’s statements confirmed that this story was “planned to be a movie” and would be a “very big one”.
Finally, he clarified that it would be impossible to bring back Robert DeNiro or Val Kilmer in this new installment of the saga for obvious reasons: the years have passed and you can’t look younger than they were back then. On the other hand, you could count on the presence of Al Pacino in his role as Vincent Hanna because this book served as a prequel and sequel at the same time.
