Academy Award-winner Leonardo DiCaprio and Best Supporting Actor Christian Bale meet in one film. The combination of the two Oscar-winning actors in the sequel to the legendary movie is enough to raise the expectations of movie fans.

U.S. entertainment journalist Jake Hamilton said on his social media on the 24th (local time) that Bale "will soon return to Chicago to shoot Hit 2." Bale reportedly confirmed this during a promotional interview for the new film "The Bride."

Hit 2 is the sequel to the 1995 crime thriller hit starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. The original "Hit" depicts a confrontation between Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) and Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino), a detective who relentlessly pursues him ahead of retirement, and the six-minute shooting scene in the middle of the city is considered one of the best action scenes of all time and has established itself as a crime movie representing the 1990s.

Hit 2 is based on the novel of the same name written by Michael Mann himself in 2022. The novel deals with how Neil McCauley and Vincent Hanna, respectively, grew into cool-headed criminals and persistent investigators in their youth, and soon after its publication, it became the No. 1 New York Times bestseller. Leonardo DiCaprio announced in December last year that he would appear, and Austin Butler, Adam Driver, and Stephen Graham are also reportedly discussing the appearance.

Bale's specific roles have not been revealed, but the possibility of playing the roles of Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) or Chris Cichelis (Val Kilmer) in the original is being discussed. Bale and Mann worked together on "Public Enemies" in 2009, so this will be the reunion of the two.

The masterpiece, which costs 170 million dollars (about 248 billion won) for production, was acquired by United Artists under Amazon and MGM after Warner Bros. withdrew due to budget issues. Starting with Chicago in August, filming will be held in LA, Las Vegas, Singapore, and South America, and the release is known to be 2027.
