00:00What if Netflix just accidentally launched its next massive action franchise,
00:04and the guy carrying it already punches people for a living on Prime Video?
00:08Yeah, we are talking about Alan Richen, and the movie is called War Machine.
00:13Hey guys, welcome back to the channel.
00:15If you have not seen War Machine on Netflix yet,
00:17here is the quick breakdown before we get into the sequel talk.
00:20Richen plays Star Surgeon 81,
00:23a soldier grinding through Army Ranger training when aliens literally crash the party.
00:27Think Black Hawk Down meets Independence Day?
00:30And honestly, it works way better than it sounds.
00:33The film dropped on March 6th and immediately shot to number 1 on Netflix worldwide.
00:37Critics were impressed.
00:39Audiences were hooked.
00:40And now, everyone is asking the same question.
00:43When is War Machine 2 happening?
00:45Nothing has been officially greenlit yet,
00:48but here is why a sequel feels almost inevitable.
00:51First, the ending does not wrap things up.
00:53It launches them.
00:54We find out that 81's encounter was not a random isolated attack.
00:58These machines landed globally.
01:00Entire cities are already gone,
01:02and tens of thousands more robots are still incoming.
01:05Earth just barely survived round 1.
01:08Second, 81 figured out how to kill these things,
01:12which suddenly makes him the most valuable person on the planet.
01:15The final shot does not show him retiring or going home.
01:18It shows him gearing back up and heading straight back into the fight.
01:21That is not an ending.
01:23That is a setup.
01:24Third, and this is big,
01:26director Patrick Hughes and Richen have reportedly already started mapping out where 81's story goes next.
01:33Netflix and Lionsgate would genuinely be leaving serious money on the table if they walked away.
01:38From this franchise right now,
01:41the world building is already done.
01:42The audience is already there.
01:44The star power is locked in.
01:46Alan Richen has proven with Reacher that he can carry an action franchise on his shoulders.
01:50Cologne.
01:51War Machine gives him an even bigger canvas.
01:54Aliens,
01:55military tactics,
01:57and a global-scale war that is just getting started.
01:59The foundation is solid.
02:01The demand is real.
02:02All we need now is the official green light.
02:05So drop your thoughts in the comments.
