Odessa Young ("The Narrow Road to the Deep North", "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere") and Maria Cid ("Eagle Knight") are in negotiations to join the cast of Michael Mann's sequel "Heat 2". Young is in talks for the role of Charlene, previously played by Ashley Judd in the 1995 original, while Cid is said to be Mann's top choice for Gabi, a new character who is the daughter of Neil McCauley's girlfriend in the sequel.
Mann will direct "Heat 2" from his own script based on his and Meg Gardiner's 2022 No. 1 New York Times bestselling novel. The iconic crime thriller "Heat" followed the cat-and-mouse game between master thief Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) and LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino). "Heat 2" will function as both a sequel and a prequel, examining Hanna's Chicago years, McCauley's earlier criminal life, and the endeavours of Chris Shiherlis, played by Val Kilmer in the original, after surviving the 1995 film's botched bank robbery.
The cast already includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Adam Driver, Stephen Graham and Jason Clarke. The sequel is produced by Mann, Jerry Bruckheimer, Scott Stuber, Nick Nesbitt, Eric Roth and Shane Salerno. Amazon MGM will release the film in theaters.
Young recently wrapped production on the Netflix crime series "Rabbit, Rabbit" starring Adam Driver.
