‘Red Notice’ director Rawson Marshall Thurber says that a part 2 and part 3 are a real possibility and would likely shoot back-to-back. Thurber wrote and directed the film, which stars Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot. ‘Red Notice’ just debuted on Netflix, earning the title of biggest opening day for the streamer, amassing a total viewing time of 148 million hours to date.
Thurber began his Hollywood career with the hit comedy ‘Dodgeball,’ starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller. He would go on to direct another comedy hit, ‘We're The Millers’, starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston, before getting on The Rock train with ‘Central Intelligence,’ co-starring Kevin Hart. He followed that up with Dwayne Johnson's Die-Hard-esque ‘Skyscraper’, and now, the Netflix hit ‘Red Notice’. He's next slated to take on the Tom Clancy thriller, ‘The Division’, with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain.
Talking to THR, who ran down his filmography asking about sequel potential, Thurber seemed most optimistic about a sequel(s) to Red Notice above all others. The director said that he thinks it's "a real possibility" and when posed with the rumor that two and three would shoot back-to-back, Thurber said it was the "only responsible thing" to film them that way.
All three ‘Red Notice’stars are busy stars with a stacked deck of projects, so it may take a little time to get more ‘Red Notice’ behind cameras. Johnson is releasing ‘Black Adam’ next year and is preparing to star in Red One for Amazon and director Jake Kasdan.
