The pre-production of Heat 2the sequel to the acclaimed thriller Michael Mann 1995 has not been easy for the filmmaker. It took Mann nearly 30 years to set everything in motion and continue the story of his most groundbreaking heist film.
In 2022, the director published together with Meg Gardiner Heat 2a novel that serves as both a prequel and sequel to the famous robbery orchestrated by Neil McCauley (Roberto De Niro) and Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer), which ended in a frantic urban shootout with the Police, led by Lieutenant Vicente Hanna (Al Pacino).

There has been a lot of talk about the names that are used to play the different characters in Heat 2with stars like Adam Driverwho has worked with Michael Mann in Ferrari. It also sounded loud Leonardo DiCaprio (The aviator) and now, Christian Bale (The Dark Knight).
deadline reports the 51-year-old actor is in talks to star Heat 2which would increase rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio will be his counterpart. There is nothing officially confirmed by Amazon MGM Studios or Jerry Bruckheimer Films.
Who will star Heat 2?
Bale previously worked with Michael Mann on public enemies in 2009, and also collaborated with DiCaprio in 2013 on Hierarchical orderalthough the two did not coincide as actors, as DiCaprio acted as producer on that occasion.
If Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio are finally the ones who take on the main roles, and if we take into account that DiCaprio receives the role of Chris Shiherlis, Bale could fall into that of Vincent Hanna and go hunting for the thief who managed to escape the famous robbery.
But we repeat that, for now, we are navigating the terrain of rumors, with other candidates such as Austin Butler, Adam Driver or Bradley Cooper also walking in the pools.
