The sequel to Tom Hanks and Apple’s WWII action film Greyhound is set to begin filming in January 2026 in Sydney, Australia. Oscar winner Hanks will return as Captain Krause and has written the screenplay.
Andreas Wiseman and Mike Fleming Jr. for Deadline:
We understand the next chapter in the Greyhound saga will follow Krause and the Greyhound crew from the beaches of Normandy to the ocean in the Pacific as they help turn the tide of the war.
The Oscar-nominated 2020 movie Greyhound saw Hanks play an inexperienced U.S. Navy commander who, soon after the U.S.’ entry into the war, is tasked with leading an Allied convoy being stalked by a German submarine wolf pack. It was based on the 1955 novel The Good Shepherd. Cast also included Rob Morgan and Elisabeth Shue.
The well-received pic was inspired by events during the Battle of the Atlantic, which took place in the earliest months of America’s alliance with Great Britain and the Allied Forces against Nazi Germany and its allies.
MacDailyNews Take: In April 2022, after collaborating on Greyhound, Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman inked a multi-year exclusive overall deal with Apple TV+. Greyhound remains one of Apple TV+’s most-watched movies and a sequel to the film has been in the works basically since Greyhound wrapped.
