Heat 2<\/strong><\/a> is officially a go, but the film\u2019s potentially star-studded cast isn\u2019t as guaranteed as many people think just yet.<\/p>\n According to a recent post on social media from Deadline\u2019s Justin Kroll, the idea that Leonardo DiCaprio \u2014 who is said to be circling the lead role in the sequel \u2014 is a shoe-in for the movie should not be treated as fact. Kroll said \u201ca lot of actors\u201d have met with director Michael Mann in the past to talk about the role, and even DiCaprio himself is \u201cstill a maybe\u201d when it comes to being in it.<\/p>\n In a separate report from Jeff Sneider of The InSneider<\/a>, he notes that other actors like Austin Butler, Adam Driver, and Bradley Cooper have all met with Mann about the movie, confirming reports from years ago<\/a>. Sneider also noted that Cooper could be being eyed to be the back up choice for DiCaprio, who is rumored to be playing Chris Shiherlis, the role portrayed by Val Kilmer in the original, should DiCaprio decide not to be in the movie.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, after Warner Bros. decided to let the movie be shopped around in August 2025,\u00a0Amazon MGM Studios<\/a>\u2019\u00a0United Artists<\/a>\u00a0division is now in talks to acquire the rights to the movie.\u00a0Jerry Bruckheimer<\/a>,\u00a0Scott Stuber<\/a>, and Nick Nesbitt have also now joined the project as producers.<\/p>\n From the sounds of it, we\u2019ll have to wait for more concrete info on casting, although it seems like the eventual movie will feature a massive, star-studded group whenever it does come out.<\/p>\n A release date for Heat 2, which will be executive produced by Eric Roth and Shane Salerno, has not yet been set.<\/p>\n The post Heat 2\u2019s Star-Studded Cast Isn\u2019t Guaranteed for Michael Mann Movie Sequel<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Heat 2 is officially a go, but the film\u2019s potentially star-studded cast isn\u2019t as guaranteed as many people think just yet.
