Nothing is confirmed at this point, but talks are happening.

Brad Pitt reached out to David Fincher over desire to see a World War Z sequel come together. Fincher, who has expressed a dislike for work on sequels after his time on Alien 3, has nevertheless listened to his friend, Pitt. The duo have worked together in the past on Se7en, Fight Club, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

If a deal is made, this could be Fincher’s first movie since 2014’s Gone Girl.

World War Z is based on the book of the same name, written by Max Brooks.
