Grossing over $473 million worldwide, earthquake disaster movie San Andreas was an unexpected hit, but the news that a sequel is in the works still comes as a massive surprise.
Neil Widener and Gavin James are writing the script for the movie, and star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is expected to return alongside Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, and Paul Giamatti. Brad Peyton meanwhile is going to direct, and Beau Flynn will produce.
Specific plot details are currently being kept under wraps, but are you ready to see The Rock take on a volcano? Well, the San Andreas sequel will apparently put the spotlight on the Ring of Fire, a circle of earthquake causing volcanoes which surround the Pacific Ocean!
The wrestler turned actor took to his Instagram account tonight to share his thoughts on the news, and it definitely sounds as if he’s excited to squeeze the movie into his crazy schedule.
