Netflix is officially making a sequel to Bright
The movie has been panned by critics, but the streaming service says the sci-fi cop drama is "the number one movie on Netflix in every country"
Panned Netflix movie Bright will be back for a sequel, with director David Ayer and stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton all "expected" to return according to the streaming service.
Netflix confirmed the movie sequel after releasing a 'leaked' audition video for Will Smith's next orc sidekick.
Despite being called "the worst movie of 2017" by some critics, Netflix has said that Bright is "the highest viewed Netflix film ever on the services in its first week of release", and is currently the number one movie on the service in every country in which Netflix is available.
