UPDATE: Star Gerard Butler confirmed to UniLad that the sequel to Den of Thieves should begin filming some time early next year.
“We’re supposed to shoot early next year. We’re Europe-bound, we’re still on the hunt for Donnie who’s now on the diamond district in Marseilles. I go over to hunt him down, but with different intentions than you might imagine. So we’re gonna be in Marseilles, the Alps, and London – it’s definitely a more glamorous journey than the last one, and probably a more fun, sexy journey,” said Butler.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Gerard Butler (Angel Has Fallen) confirms a sequel to his surprise hit Den of Thieves is officially in development.
“We’re working on that script at the moment, and I’m getting pages daily from (writer/director) Christian Gudegast. It’s a fun ride, spreading across North America into Europe and the diamond district of Marseilles. It’s very cool and has a more European vibe this time. All the fun characters, Big Nick, Donnie, and Lobbin’ Bob [Jordan Bridges], will be back. And I’m really excited about it,” said Butler.
The original film ended with a twist as Butler’s Big Nick is heading towards tracking down Donnie Wilson, played by O’Shea Jackson Jr., in Europe. Jackson Jr. is also expected to return for Den of Thieves 2.
Stay tuned.
