This after it became the No. 1 movie on Netflix in over 190 countries – with more people viewing the film internationally than domestically – since its premiere on December 22, 2017.
Director David Ayer and stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton have been confirmed to be part of the sequel.
“Bright” is set in an alternate version of present-day Los Angeles, where humans live alongside supernatural beings like orcs, elves, and fairies.
Smith plays the role of Daryl Ward, a human police officer who is racist against orcs like Nick Jakoby (Edgerton).
In a previous interview, Smith and Edgerton talked about the movie’s racial undertones and anti-bullying message.
“I became very much in love with the character of that orc who is bullied by everybody. I felt like the whole script was saying something about bullying en masse, like bullying other cultures, religions, and groups,” Edgerton said.
Smith, for his part, said: “In playing [my role], I learned a lot, looking at the racial and class divides from that angle in a science-fiction film.”
