Lucy 2 Cast: Who Can play the role in the most Awaited sequel of Lucy

The action-movie Lucy (2014) directed by Luc Besson and portrayed by Scarlett Johansson was of interest to the people who watched it because by it, the director tried to highlight the discussion of the human mind and the thought-provoking premise. Since there were rumors of a Lucy 2, we can only wait to find out what the sequel will give us and this may include the cast. That cast of Lucy 2 is the point of focus in this blog and we will take a look at the possibilities of who can come back and who can come in as also what role can they play. The cast of the sequel will consist of fan favorites, older actors, and new ones which promises to bring the action and drama to new levels.

Lucy Returns Scarlett Johansson

When one talks of the Lucy 2 cast the burning question in everybody is whether Scarlett Johansson is going to perform again the role of Lucy a woman who develops superhuman powers after a drug implanted in her body gets into her blood stream. Lucy played by Johansson was more than the main attraction to the success of the film but also would help put Johansson on the iconic action star list. Because of the premise of the first film, there is high possibility of her coming back to show the progress of the character or finishing her quest.

The way Johansson exudes both physicality and intellectual power up through the form of Lucy makes her move out of a vulnerable woman into becoming no less than a force of nature. Lucy has probably taken off its journey into exploring the full potential of Lucy once she unlocked her 100 percent of the brains capacity and could this movie go into the psyche of Lucy and who could explore this transformation better than Johansson?

Johansson brings special skill in giving emotional depth to explosive parts. Her reappearance would doubtlessly bring not only action scenes but also the introspective situations which were extremely popular in the initial movie,” says a film reviewer Sarah Williams. Her comeback would definitely bring up the hype about Lucy 2.

The Lucy 2 Cast Has New Characters

Though Johansson is certainly returning, it goes without saying that the sequel is going to add new characters to oppose or support Lucy in her new story. These new comers may be villains and heroes as well, their talent has a wide range of new and seasoned players.

The Professor Samuel Norman played by Morgan Freeman

The intellect aptly demonstrated by Morgan Freeman in his role as Professor Samuel Norman in the first Lucy, gave the plot a layer of intellect. He played the role of acting as a voice of reason and an example to Lucy as she made decisions involving her rapidly growing cognitive capacities. It is possible that the reprise of Freeman in Lucy 2 will be prominent given the fact that he played an outstanding role in the first movie and it may be that his research on the human brain gets some attention.

Then there is the question of Professor Norman, who might become an important key in invention of new technologies or in mentoring Lucy on utilisation of her new abilities. Freeman with his dominating appearance and prudent demeanor, would suit well with Lucy 2 as an addition to the movie to give his fans a nostalgic relief to his debut character in the first movie.

Potential Baddie: Idris Elba

Idris Elba has shown himself a pro in action movies, and it would be thrilling to have him feature in Lucy 2. The strong on-screen persona and actor dynamics ensure that Elba can play a good villain. As a scientist who has ambitions of going to exploit the potential abilities of Lucy or even as a potent antagonist who has his own set of powerful abilities, the inclusion of Elba would enhance the intensity and the power of the sequel.

This skill has been well illustrated in his previous film roles in Thor and Pacific Rim where he has managed to give compelling blend of charm with menace in his roles. In Lucy 2, Elba can act as an antidote to the already well-developed abilities of Lucy, so it will be a real intelligence and power struggle to the death.

New Face Zendaya

Zendaya is rapidly establishing herself as one of the shining lights of Hollywood, especially her magnetic acting in Euphoria and Spider-Man: No Way Home. She is capable of putting strength, vulnerability, and depth in roles and this is why she would not be a bad idea as a supporting role in Lucy 2. Her character may be a figure that acquires better reasoning power like Lucy but cannot manage it effectively, and may turn out to either be an ally or a foe.

Considering the surging popularity of Zendaya, the former inclusion to the Lucy 2 cast would draw a new generation of viewers, and it would add a new set of multi-dimensionality and maturity to the picture. Younger audiences might also get attracted to Zendaya to provide some balance to the film that is full of action yet deep-seated performances by her.

The Vision of the Director of Lucy 2

Luc Besson, the director of the first Lucy, is an author of a popular action series who is famous with his quick-footed gorgeous films. In case Lucy 2 would continue in this trend, the cast will have to be versatile and able to take on action sequences that are intense and emotional scenes with intricate emotions. The talent Besson has displayed to intertwine profound questions of human nature, forces and power in the stunning plot lines he has created would demand a Lucy 2 cast not just one that is physically gifted but also capable of portraying the metaphysical aspects of human evolution, self awareness and control.

The follow-up may explore further consequences of the power of Lucy. It can touch on how life might have been with a fully unlocked brain which has never been developed this far in a cinematographic work, says Besson. The cast will have to assist with the crazy internal struggle and the dangers that such enormous power brings with itself.

The Development of the Capabilities of Lucy

In Lucy, the protagonist goes through a faster development of her brain power, which leads up to its divine powers. Lucy 2 could find out whether there is further development of her powers, and the philosophical/vs/scientific approach could be even more intense. Possessing a packed crew of actors, the movie would provide a perspective on how Lucy behaves with the world that is still trying to understand individuals like her, or even find a way to control them.

As Lucy transcends herself, chances are that the tension created in the movie will increase, adding characters to the film, who have their own unique capacities. These characters might serve as foils or as a threat to the further development of Lucy and contribute to the drama when they face off and are confronted with certain morality questions regarding the evolution and control of humans.

Lucy 2 Appeal to the World

With the backdrop of technological development and AI concerns dominating global discourse, Lucy 2 would have the potential to decide on the right topics, namely on matters of the boundary of human potential and the subject of ethical artificial enhancement. It is possible that the cast will be selected on the basis of the above mentioned themes and it will be a great fusion of international talents to make the film relatable to all kind of people spread globally.

The Entrance and Reception in the UAE

Lucy 2 appeals to the audience of both UAE and Western countries because this genre mix provides the mixture of exciting action as well as the stimulating interpretation of human potentialities. The movie has multinational acting strength and the potential to portray the world in multinational settings, making it reachable to people of other cultures. The modern cosmopolitan lifestyle the UAE offers along with the fascination in technology and innovation is the ideal setting to address the thematic questions introduced in the Lucy universe.

Conclusion

It is supposed that Lucy 2 cast will be composed of the old familiar faces with some exciting new additions that will develop further the film theme on the potential of humans. Scarlett Johansson is reprising her role as Lucy, and there are other potential stars of Lucy 2, such as Morgan Freeman, Idris Elba, or Zendaya, so Lucy 2 can become an exciting and mind-blowing sequel. With the current popularity of technology and human development making headlines Lucy 2 might provide a film based outlook on future potential of human beings. The subsequent one is expected to deliver a dynamic mix of action, intricate characters, and deep philosophical wisdom thus one of the much anticipated movies of the year.

Being filled with action, great performances, and a storyline which will rationalize the nature of human evolution, Lucy 2 will surely become a movie that the fans of the initial Lucy will be willing to watch and to know; not to mention such fans as will see the movie after having watched the first one.
