Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Jeffrey Dean Morgan has suggested that there will never be a sequel to the soon to be released movie Watchmen
Morgan will play The Comedian in the latest superhero movie, which is one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year so far, that follows a group of vigilantes during the Cold War.
In an interview with Moviehole the actor said: "We are all signed for sequels... but I’d say unless Alan Moore says he’s gonna write something, we’ll never see Watchmen 2.
"I doubt [director] Zach [Snyder] would do another and without him, I wouldn’t go back, and I can’t imagine any of the other actors would want to either."
"I’d love to be a fly-on-the-wall in the meeting in which someone brings up a Watchmen sequel, especially if it happens with Zach around, because he won’t want any part of it. I think this is it; what you see, is what you get. It was always a oner for me."
But in recent months the project has been fraught with problems after a Los Angeles judge ruled that it is 20th Century Fox that owns the distribution rights to the movie and not Warner Bros.
Fox filed a lawsuit back in February claiming that it was they who owned the rights to the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons they had in fact acquired the rights back in the 1980s.
However a deal was made to keep the film on the release schedule.
