The excitement surrounding the sequel, The Family Plan 2, has sparked speculation about the possibility of a third installment. Director Simon Cellan Jones hinted at this potential during an exclusive interview, stating, “That’s for the audience to decide! Let’s wait and see how this one does. But we do have a few ideas for Family Plan 3!” While no official announcement has been made regarding a third film, the current sequel appears to resonate well with audiences.
In a notable scene from The Family Plan 2, Dan Morgan, played by Mark Wahlberg, confronts Finn Clarke, portrayed by Kit Harington, in a tense vault standoff. Finn reveals their unexpected familial connection, holding Dan at gunpoint while presenting a significant family photo. Cellan Jones described the scene as “really intense,” emphasizing the chemistry between Wahlberg and Harington, who were eager to engage in such a critical moment.
The sequel continues the adventures of the Morgan family, which includes Dan and his wife, Jessica, played by Michelle Monaghan. The family embarks on a chaotic vacation to Europe, facing a series of unexpected challenges, including bank heists and car chases. This follow-up builds on the narrative established in the original The Family Plan, released in 2023, which revealed Dan’s past as a former government assassin.
Reflecting on the experience of making the sequel, Cellan Jones noted, “We were so happy to be back. We had a great time on the first movie, and the second time around we got back into our rhythm really quickly. And we were in London and Paris – what’s not to like?”
For Wahlberg and Monaghan, reuniting for this project was especially gratifying. Wahlberg described working with Monaghan as a joyful experience, stating, “When it comes to chemistry, you either possess it or you don’t, but I have a great fondness for Michelle. She brings such energy, enthusiasm, and gratitude for the chance to make films.” His sentiments were echoed by Monaghan, who expressed appreciation for the entire cast and the dynamic they created together.
“I believe we have a great family dynamic that resonates with all families,” Monaghan said. She highlighted the contributions of new cast members, including Harington and Reda Elazouar, stating they enriched the overall tone and chemistry of the film.
As audiences eagerly watch The Family Plan 2, currently streaming on Apple TV, the potential for a third film remains an open question, hinging on the reception of the latest installment. With characters that resonate and a storyline ripe for exploration, fans will undoubtedly be watching closely for any updates on what could be next for the Morgans.
