A sequel to critically acclaimed Filipino action film from director Pedring Lopez (Nilalang) is in-the-works. FCS reports that Lopez – along with lead Cristine Reyes – is setting up to return for Maria 2 with a spritely roster of Indonesian talent with Yayan Ruhian (Beyond Skyline) and Cecep Arif Rahman (The Raid 2)

Ronnie Lazaro (Evolution of a Filipino Family), K.C. Montero (Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2) and action/stunt choreographer by Sonny Sison (Broken Path, Nilalang, Buy Bust) are also expected to return.

The original Maria (read our review) centered around a highly trained, ex-special forces agent-turned-cartel assassin (Reyes).

We’ll keep you updated on Maria 2 as more news becomes available. Until then, if you haven’t seen Maria, be sure to check it out while it’s still on Netflix.
