Wanted co-writer Chris Morgan tells MTV he is getting ready to pen the sequel.

According to Morgan, Universal Pictures is in the final stages of negotiating a deal with graphic novel creator Mark Millar for a sequel to the June 2008 film.

Where will the sequel pick up? Morgan says "the point is to continue the journey that Wes (James McAvoy) started in the first film. Wherever he ended up at the end of the film, now it's time to move him forward."

"There's a natural journey that Wes needs to take," he continued, adding that the sequel "is going to be opened up to be more global."

Universal has not set a release date for Wanted 2 yet.

Wanted was terrible. Only thing it had in common with the book was the title. Terrible acting as well.

it wasn't awful, but was pretty friggen bad. the acting was the only good thing. there were only three characters who you really got to know, and two of them died. even the ones that should've been more developed died, like common's characters. the story had no depth, and was just action. but the second movie in a series of comic book movies usually is better. can't be hard to beat the first wanted. I have an idea for a name: STILL WANTED

WANTED was pretty damn cool! It may not have been exactly like the comic book, but it was still solid.

Would love a new and sleek new one. Don't listen to these haters.

There is absolutely no reason that a comic book movie can't be a completely realistic, serious film, with a great story and great acting. This film had none of it. I do not look forward to the sequel if it gets green lighted.
