World War Z 2 Release Date
It has been years since the first movie was released and fans still have not got the sequel yet. They are hopefully waiting for the makers to give an update about the sequel. The movie had a stroke of bad luck from the beginning. To begin with, several cast members backed out of the sequel because of their other commitments, only to bring it this far. In 2019, China banned films that are primarily concerned with the concept of zombies and ghosts, which is why Paramount is still hesitant to invest in the film, the prequel’s budget was somewhere between 190–269 million dollars. China being the biggest market for Hollywood films could affect the box office of the sequel badly. If Paramount confirms the sequel, we won’t see a release date until 2023 or 2024 at the earliest.
