Gareth Evans just dropped a tantalizing hint that may cause The Raid fans to clutch their hearts.
In a recent appearance on The Discourse podcast by The Playlist, Evans was asked about a sequel to The Raid 2 — a question fans have been asking for nearly a decade. For the first time in years, Evans didn’t shut it down.
"I won’t lie and pretend like I don't sit there now with a new idea," Evans confessed. "While I'm not dismissing it outright… It’s definitely up for conversation again. So yeah, maybe."
A "maybe" from Gareth Evans is significant, especially when paired with the words "new idea." While he didn’t reveal any plot details or timelines, the very fact that The Raid 3 is back on the table is a massive development for action cinema fans.
The Raid series has become a landmark in action filmmaking, praised for its raw, brutal fight choreography and intense storytelling. The Raid 2, which followed the relentless journey of rookie cop Rama as he navigated Jakarta’s underworld, garnered international acclaim for pushing the boundaries of action cinema.
With Evans now open to the possibility of revisiting the world of The Raid, fans are eagerly speculating whether Rama’s story will continue or whether a new chapter could unfold in the universe Evans built. But for now, the door to The Raid 3 remains slightly ajar.
