The global pandemic that swept the world in 2013, as depicted in the first World War Z film, left audiences eagerly anticipating a sequel. The 2013 film, based on Max Brooks' 2006 novel of the same name, starred Brad Pitt as former United Nations employee Gerry Lane, who embarks on a perilous journey to find a way to stop a zombie-like apocalypse.

The latest update on World War Z 2 came in 2020, when it was reported that the film was moving forward with a new script by Taylor Sheridan and Justin Marks. The film's production is expected to begin soon, with a targeted release date in 2024.

The wait for World War Z 2 has been long and arduous, but with a renewed focus on the project and a new script in development, fans have reason to be optimistic. As the world continues to grapple with real-life pandemics and global uncertainty, the themes of World War Z 2 are more relevant than ever.
