Will there be a Dragonball: Evolution sequel?
Even though the film is yet to open, star Justin Chatwin says a script for a follow-up is already complete.
“I know they’ve written a second one and it’s pretty far out there,” the actor told MTV News.
In the movie, which hits theaters on Friday, Chatwin portrays Goku, who seeks to recover the powerful “Dragonballs” and protect the world from the evil Lord Piccolo, played by James Marsters.
“The second one really goes to some different places that I’ve never seen in any comic book adaptation,” said Chatwin.
James Marsters and Justin Chatwin - who portray Lord Piccolo and Goku, respectively, in Dragonball Evolution - hope the April release is one of man installments in this franchise.
"I hope [the movie does well] because my character only really gets interesting in the second film, I mean he's interesting now! But his journey is really developed in the script for the second movie," Marsters told IGN.
Does the actor know for sure if there will be a Dragonball sequel?
"All I know is I've been signed to three movies, but I would like to make five - seven of them. You could just pretty much paint by numbers using the wealth of source material to easily get the seven films. There's that much there."
As for Chatwin, he says Dragonball Evolution is merely the set-up for many more movies.
"There's a whole generation of kids waiting to be introduced to Dragonball, so this first movie is really important for that. I mean the main plot is the battle between Piccolo and Goku, but this first film still serves to introduce the characters and where they're from and what they're deals are. And so to cover that ground really takes up most of the first movie."
The premiere of Dragonball Evolution has been pushed back two days. It will now open on Friday, April 10.
The movie will debut the same day that Hannah Montana: The Movie and Observe and Report open.
