A new trailer for a supposed Lucy 2, starring Scarlett Johansson in the lead role, has emerged online, and the trailer has already garnered many reactions. Fans also seem to be extremely excited about the prospect of a sequel to the 2014 sci-fi action film. But is this Lucy 2 trailer real or just another AI-based creation?
Without further ado, let’s delve into the details of the trending trailer and the possibility of a Lucy sequel.
Is Scarlett Johansson’s Lucy 2 trailer real or fake?
The Lucy 2 trailer that is going viral online is completely fake.
The aforementioned trailer that fans are talking about is made by Ultimate Studios, a YouTube channel specializing in fan-made concept trailers.
Check out the viral Lucy 2 trailer below:
The trailer in itself is quite interesting and has attractive elements that also tie back well with the original film. Moreover, it has garnered 230K views as of writing.
However, the viral video is not a real trailer, and fans should not be expecting a Lucy 2 with Scarlett Johansson, at least anytime soon. This trailer has been made entirely by combining clips from the original 2014 film with AI-generated footage. Thus, it is likely a fan-made creation to engage the curiosity of those who loved the first movie.
Will Scarlett Johansson return for Lucy 2?
There is nothing to indicate that Scarlett Johansson will return for a sequel to Lucy.
There have been talks of a Lucy 2 in the past, but all of it faded out long ago. In a 2014 WonderCon interview, director Luc Besson discussed the possibility of a sequel. He said, “With Lucy, you’ll see the end of the film. I don’t know how we can make a sequel, but if the film is huge, then I will think about it.”
Rumors of a sequel being developed emerged in 2015, but the director soon announced that this was not the case. Later, on October 31, 2022, Variety reported that a spin-off series would be developed, with Morgan Freeman returning. However, there has been no word on the project as of writing.
It is also unconfirmed whether Scarlett Johansson would be a part of it. The actress is currently gearing up for her upcoming release, Jurassic World Rebirth, which will hit theaters on July 2, 2025. She is also working on the James Gray film Paper Tiger, which also features Adam Driver and Miles Teller.
