DOG SOLDIERS 2 Could Still Happen

Dog Soldiers is one of the better werewolf movies. And today, Neil Marshall and stars Kevin McKidd and Sean Pertwee tease Dog Soldiers 2 could still happen.
Marshall tells Den of Geek: “There’s more of a chance now than ever before. There’s things in the works and we’re seeing what we can do. Certainly, myself and Kevin McKidd and [producer] Chris Figg are up for it to revisit this world. Over the past 18 years the question I get asked pretty much more than anything else is when are we going to get Dog Soldiers 2?’ Part of me thinks I’d like to go back and re-visit that world somehow. And if Kev’s up for it, then that would make it worthwhile for sure. So we’ll see. You never know.”
Pertwee adds: “Initially, it was written as a trilogy. The second one was [about] the science of creating Dog Soldiers. The special ops come in and they do the scrape with DNA and they grow it in tubes and in the final film, we were to become Dog Soldiers, half men, half lycanthrope, which I thought would have been so super cool and we were all very excited by it. I think people tried to make a sequel without [Neil Marshall] being involved, so it wouldn’t have been the same movie. That’s the thing about Neil. He walked away and I respect him for it. We would have loved to have done it…but I wish we had done it because a lot of people love the movie.”
McKidd says: “I think it could be fun again to revisit that character, 18 years on. We keep throwing around ideas of Cooper and the mental institution and he’s been locked up because he spent 18 year screaming and shouting that there’re werewolves in the woods, and sure enough they come back one day, and the marshals come and knock on his cell door and say, ‘We need your help.‘ That could change, it’s just one idea. There are many ideas. Watch this space.”
