Like F/O'97 would need 2 A list stars to work:

Keanu/Pitt?
Cruise/RDJnr?
DiCaprio/Depp?
Bale/Craig?
Matt Damon/Hardy?

EDIT/2022: now confirmed as a sequel starring Cage

I'd be keen as a bean for that. We need John Woo back as well though.

Very unlikely that both characters will be white in the modern cinema. Maybe John David Washington/Simu Liu, it would be great to see Castor Troy do literal blackface.

Another example of the STUPIDITY and total LACK OF ORIGINAL THOUGHT in Hollyweird! This was one of the DUMBEST
(if not THE DUMBEST) movies I've ever seen!

Mark Walberg/Matt Damon
Liam Neeson/Ralph Fiennes
Gerald Butler/Clive Owen

Or!

Jesse Eisenberg/Micheal Sera! :O

cage talks abit about F/O 2

One film that’s referenced a few times in the film is 1997’s Face/Off, which is such a fan favorite. There’s been recent talk of a sequel, and that there’s a script reportedly in the works with writer Simon Barrett and director Adam Wingard attached. Is that a story you would like to revisit?

I have not heard hide nor hair about it. So often these things we read about are just conjecture without any base or foundation to it. I feel the same about National Treasure 3. It’s been 14 years. There’s no there, there. So, is it fun to think about? Sure. Would [Face/Off 2] be an exciting movie to make? Oh, hell yeah. But John Woo was such a huge voice in that movie. It couldn’t be a remake. I think these filmmakers even said as much — that something like that would have to be a sequel.
