Baby Driver 2

Edgar Wright’s musical crime thriller, Baby Driver, is currently tearing up cinemas, giving the director his biggest box office opening to date and earning a well-deserved five stars from us. It’s no surprise, then, that talk turned to a potential sequel during our recent Spoiler Special Podcast with the film’s writer and director.

“The studio have asked me to think about writing a sequel and it is one of the ones that I might do a sequel to because I think there’s somewhere more to go with it in terms of the characters,” Wright told Empire. “Baby has got to a new place.”

So does the director have any idea as to where a follow-up could go? He has yet to direct a sequel, after all. “Most sequels you have to contrive something so they go back to square one, unless there’s somewhere deeper for them to go. I think with Baby Driver there’s more that you can do in that realm, and I sort of have an idea that if you did another [film] you would subvert his involvement in the crime in a different way so he’s not the apprentice anymore.”

Wright also suggested that a particular deleted scene could be used in a sequel. “Before they got to the post office there was this whole scene set to, believe it or not, a song by Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. And it’s a really funny and quirky sequence and I really liked it in isolation. But as soon as I tried lifting it out of the movie it made so much more sense. It flowed a lot better without it, basically. If I ever do a sequel, I can just reuse the scene as it was a really good scene, but it seemed to interrupt the flow of tension.”

The Fast And The Furious: Atlanta Drift? 2 Baby 2 Furious? Suggestions on a postcard.

Baby Driver is in cinemas now.

Not keen on the idea, as much as I understand the idea behind it. There's something that feels inherently wrong with doing a sequel considering how contained the first film is.

Well, when I watched the film yesterday I kept wondering if Griff was going to return or not. They could definitely use him more substantively for the sequel.

Too bad they killed Little Enos.

[Walts Ghost]

I'm up for it!

Edgar, if you're gonna start doing sequels, do Hot Fuzz 2 instead please. Although I guess I wouldn't say no to a Baby Driver 2 though.

HF2 would be an awesome sequel. That being said, a sequel to Baby Driver would not be turned down by me. I gave the first one a 3.5/5 (rounded to 4 for the poll). I think I need to watch it again.

With the way the film ended, this isn't needed.

Baby and Deborah raising a child and teaching the young son how to drive fast. Not wanting to return to the life of crime, their son takes his driving skills the legal route, and starts racing F1. Goes to Monaco and wins the Grand Prix.

There won't be a sequel.

Much of the praise this is getting is how refreshingly original it is in a sea of franchises and remakes. Please don't taint it it with a sequel. Keep bringing us original works, Edgar!

I tend to agree. Edgar tends to move towards new material and has yet to do a sequel (that I know of).

[Mr.F]

If it happens I hope it's not any time soon and he finally starts working on Grasshopper Jungle

Exactly...I want to see as many original efforts from Wright as possible, not just re-hashes of stuff he's already done. I loved Baby Driver, but it was a One & Done deal for me...there's nothing left to say.

[ManBeast]

Not everything needs a sequel or should turn into a franchise.

[Leonidas King]

Gotta agree with some of you guys. This doesn't need a sequel.

I never got that impression. I just though his ears were ringing in the closing scene, and when he

When he wakes up in the car he puts his hands on the speaker to feel the vibration of the music like just like his foster dad does. Also, when the guard brings him his letter I think he taps him on the shoulder to get his attention.

I thought the shot of

was an indicator that he'd
