FACE/OFF 2 Director Teases New Script Is Almost Finished
Godzilla vs Kong director Adam Wingard is now working on Face/Off 2. And today, Wingard confirms the script is almost complete. He also stressed it will be a direct sequel to the original – not a reboot or reimagining.
Wingard tells IGN: “I would never make a remake of Face/Off. I would never make a reboot. And I’ve seen a lot of people, even after I said that this is a direct sequel, they keep calling it a reboot hybrid sequel or remake hybrid sequel. It’s none of that. This is Face/Off 2. And I can’t say what that means exactly, but this is either going to be the definitive follow-up to that movie and everything that entails, or I’m not going to make it, because everything’s got to line up perfectly.”
He added: “The script’s going really good, Simon [Barrett] and I are almost finished… We’ve been working a lot over quarantine, and this was our main project. Face/Off 2. That’s what it is It is Face/Off 2, and I’ll just leave it at that.”
You might have noticed Wingard stops short of saying if John Travolta and Nicolas Cage return… But stay tuned checking back and we’ll pass along updates.

Wingard directs from a script he’s writing with Simon Barrett (You’re Next, The Guest). Neal Moritz produces while David Permut will serve as executive producer.
The original film centered on FBI agent (John Travolta), obsessed with bringing an evil terrorist (Nicolas Cage) to justice. Travolta tracks Cage down and crashes his plane, leaving him severely injured, possibly dead. Travolta then undergoes surgery to remove his face and replace it with Cage’s. As Travolta tries to use his disguise to elicit information about a bomb from Cage’s brother, Cage awakes from a coma and forces the doctor who performed the surgery to give him Travolta’s face.
It sports a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Critics Consensus reads: John Travolta and Nicolas Cage play cat-and-mouse (and literally play each other) against a beautifully stylized backdrop of typically elegant, over-the-top John Woo violence
