Now White has posted an explosive new teaser for Black Dynamite 2 to Twitter with the phrase “Black Is Back” and a 2018 release date.
We last reported in 2012 that Black Dynamite leading man and co-writer Michael Jai White (The Dark Knight, Spawn) was planning a sequel to his 2009 blaxploitation spoof, planning to switch characters and genres while retaining the original creative team.
Directed by Scott Sanders and co-written by White, Sanders, and Byron Minns, the original Black Dynamite paid homage to the films of the ’70s blaxploitation genre (Shaft, Super Fly, Trouble Man, etc), following CIA agent Black Dynamite as he avenges his brother’s death.
“We had discussed,” said White previously, “and it looks like we’re getting closer to the decision of something that would be an homage to ‘Blazing Saddles.’
