The sequel – which already has original helmer Jon M. Chu attached again to direct – also plans to reteam with the producers of the first film, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force and John Penotti of Ivanhoe; and will be penned by the same screenwriters of Crazy Rich Asians Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim – although the deals have not yet been set.
While Warner Bros. has not yet officially green-lighted the sequel, the studio is reportedly moving forward on development, with the second film to be titled and based on Kevin Kwan’s follow-up book to Crazy Rich Asians – China Rich Girlfriend.
