Hi, no I never read a script for a sequel. I did enjoy both making the film and watching it. A lot of people have told me that it would be a great remake.
Lundgren portrayed Detective Jack Caine in the 1990 science‑fiction action cult classic I Come in Peace, also released internally as Dark Angel. During a Reddit AMA, the actor was asked whether rumors of a sequel were genuine, his perspective on any such script, and whether he might participate. He responded: “I never read a script for a sequel. I did enjoy both making the film and watching it. Many people suggest it would be a good remake.”
Although the film’s box office was modest—grossing only $4.3 million—and holding a 42% critics’ rating and 47% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, it achieved cult status for its over‑the‑top action, original premise, and Lundgren’s commanding presence.
Recent speculation from a 2021 Reddit thread fueled doubts about a potential continuation. Given Lundgren’s standing as the series’ lead, the centrality of his character, and the survival of Caine in the original narrative, a sequel involving his participation appears highly unlikely. Current public reports indicate no official commitments regarding a follow‑up, nor any documented script development toward such a project.
