Director Gavin O’Connor Is Interested In Helming A Warrior Sequel

 

Gavin O’Connor has a solid track record when it comes to the movies he’s directed, but as we all know, that does’t always translate to big numbers at the box office. That was definitely the case for Warrior back in 2011 after it earned only $14 million in North America on a budget of $25 million.

Critics liked it though and it’s gained a fairly sizeable following in the years since, but talks of a sequel have never really done the rounds. That could be about to change though based on recent comments from O’Connor during the press tour for The Accountant. Whether the interest from audiences is there is hard to say, but here’s what the director said about it possibly happening.

He said “I’m grateful! I was trying to get that [being authentic] right. When I made that movie, it was still… MMA and UFC and that type of fighting, it just wasn’t as popular as it is today. And that movie, more than any movie I’ve ever made, I have a weird… there’s an amazing following of rabid fans, more than anything I’ve ever done. And I’d say that’s probably my most personal movie. So I’m really grateful and, y’know, maybe we’ll do another one!”
