'The Wrecking Crew' No.1 on Prime Video — Writer Says Sequel Plan If Amazon Agrees
Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista’s new action comedy The Wrecking Crew is streaming at No.1 on Prime Video, and writer Jonathan Tropper says there is already a plan for a sequel “if Amazon wants it,” he told The Direct. Tropper said he has discussed ideas with Momoa and would have with Bautista but that Bautista is “so busy making two other movies right now.” He added, “I think we have a pretty strong idea ...
These brothers are now united in a way they weren't before and so I think if we did another one, it would be basically to up the ante, up the stakes, and put them in a much more difficult situation ... and watch sort of whatever relationship they've built between the first and the second one start to unravel, because they're thrown into the trenches again together.” The Wrecking Crew grew from a speculative suggestion by Bautista that he and Momoa should do a Lethal Weapon–style buddy film and came together over about five years.
The film centers on estranged half-brothers Jonny (Momoa) and James (Bautista), who reunite after their father’s mysterious death and uncover secrets, lies and a conspiracy. Critics have given the film strong reviews and praised the on-screen chemistry between Momoa and Bautista. The movie holds a 78% Tomatometer score, and early reviews call it “wildly entertaining” with plenty of “mouth on the floor” action sequences — elements that have helped drive its streaming success.
