Little has been revealed about the plot of "Attack the Block 2" up to this point. Fortunately, Joe Cornish, who wrote and directed the original film, will be returning to write and direct the sequel, which means there's a good chance it'll actually be able to recapture the same feeling and magic of the 2011 film. In statements made in conjunction with the sequel's announcement (via Deadline), Cornish and Boyega did tease a bit about the film's premise and setting as well, with the former saying that he can't wait to "work alongside John again, bringing audiences an even bigger slice of inner-city alien action." Boyega also noted how excited he is to see the sequel's "heightened story return to the streets of London."
So fans can likely expect "Attack the Block 2" to stick to the same inner-city, urban London setting that made the original so distinct and unique. However, fans will have to wait to find out how exactly it will build off the alien invasion that was the cause of so much destruction and terror in the first film. It's also unknown if the sequel will take place 10 years after the original, pick up immediately where it left off, or split the difference somehow.
These are all questions that should, hopefully, be answered in due time though. For now, fans can at least relax knowing that the "Attack the Block" sequel they've long been hoping for is finally becoming a reality.
