scrn logline
Charlize Theron's 'Atomic Blonde' sequel faces rights issues, delaying production with director David Leitch struggling to unravel the legal bottleneck.

- Director David Leitch reveals that 'Atomic Blonde 2' has been stuck in rights negotiations since Netflix acquired the sequel in 2020, with 'too many forces working against each other' to get the film made.
- Writer Kurt Johnstad previously teased 'Atomic Blonde' as the start of a potential trilogy, so fans may still get to see more of Charlize Theron's spy character Lorraine Broughton if the rights issues can be resolved.
