Something that must come as no surprise, however, is the fact that Angelina Jolie will not be coming back, despite all the rumors that have been saying she will. Instead, it will be McAvoy trying to recruit a girl in a somewhat roles reversed situation from the previous movie, with the Scottish born actor taking the Jolie role.
Although Haas and writing partner Michael Brandt were not expected to be involved in the second movie, it seem the producers have had a change of heart and ask them both to return. Also returning is director Timur Bekmambetov .
