Speaking with Comicbook.com, they said: “It is [in active development]. We're trying to get it going. All of our cast have read the script and love it.
“Ruben [Fleischer, original director] is signed on. It's just a matter of making our cast deals and making it for a budget number.
“All the cast have become superstars now so, we made Zombieland with $20 million.
“So it's trying to fit that financial model into the sequel model so it makes sense for the studio and being able to pay the actors what they now get paid and deserve to paid.”
Can the Deadpool writers persuade Sony to go ahead with the project?
The writing duo just now need to convince Sony Pictures to go ahead with the project.
They added: “We see [Sony Pictures chairman] Tom Rothman pretty frequently now and we're pestering that dude. He's like, ‘Please, enough with the Zombieland talk!’ We're pestering him the way we pestered Fox on Deadpool. We're not letting it go. We really want to see Zombieland 2.”
