Copley Talks District 10 Wikus Van De Merwe addresses the sequel buzz.

A rumor surfaced yesterday claiming that District 10 -- the proposed sequel to last year's celebrated sci-fi smash District 9 -- would shoot later this year, with Neill Blomkamp and Peter Jackson back to direct and produce, respectively. Unfortunately, the pic sounds a lot farther off than that, according to Sharlto Copley, who played the doomed Wikus Van De Merwe in the Oscar-nominated original.

"Neil wants it and I want it. Neil's doing another film first. Then I think if everything goes according to plan we'll do the second film in about two years time. That story can go in so many different ways. There's a whole universe," Copley told Empire.

The actor added, "There's a million ways you can go. Neil's actually very interested in prequels as well; he's said that a few times. We wouldn't do the traditional Hollywood version of the sequel which would just be 100 aliens fighting humans."

Copley will next be seen as Howling Mad Murdock in The A-Team.
