Sisu 2 – will there be a sequel?
With the mega success, of course, that comes straight away Ask about a sequel and director and screenwriter Helander also revealed to Games Radar that he is wondering what could happen next for Korpi. It’s also about the question of what actually makes the old man happy.
Since Rambo and at the latest since John Wick we know that a one-man army has a restless nature that never comes to rest. Sisu could also succumb to this fate, be it through personal motivation or through an assignment. “Maybe needs again someone his skills“said Helander. No solid sequel is planned yet, so we can be excited.
