We Just Found Out Why It Took So Long To Make 'Den Of Thieves 2,' And I Hope The Same Thing Doesn’t Happen With 'Den Of Thieves 3'

It took seven years (almost to the day) for "Den of Thieves 2: Pantera" to land in theaters and pick up with the story of our boy Nick “Big Nick” O’Brien and his quest to catch Donnie Wilson and figure out how he pulled off the heist of the century. Though I admittedly watched 2018’s "Den of Thieves" for the first time only recently, the whole time I was wondering why it took so long for the sequel to happen. Now I know, and I hope it doesn’t take too long
