According to Variety, Universal Pictures has reupped Wanted producer Marc Platt for five years, keeping Marc Platt Productions on the lot through late 2012.
The deal comes as Platt begins work on Wanted 2 with director Timur Bekmambetov and writers Michael Brandt and Derek Haas.
For Wanted 2, Platt acknowledged that the creative team is still working on the challenge of continuing the story, but the film was designed as a potential franchise, Universal production president Donna Langley said. The intention is to get James McAvoy back.
"The writers are at work already, and those creative discussions are taking place," said Platt, who is producing once again with Jim Lemley.
