Carter 2 Release Date

Carter 2

There’s no official announcement about Carter 2 yet, neither from the film’s producers nor from Netflix. So, we don’t know if the South Korean action movie will be expanded or not. However, we also have to note that the movie was well received by Netflix viewers. In fact, within 3 days of its release, Carter was viewed 27.3 million times and landed at #1 on Netflix’s global top 10 movies.

Considering the fact that the film received positive reviews and caught the attention of global viewers, Netflix might give the green light for a sequel. If the producers have more stories to tell, we believe Carter 2 could be coming.

Speaking of stories: It’s safe to say that the ending of Carter didn’t tie up all the loose ends. Carter and his family escape to China on a train, but suddenly a bomb goes off on the tracks, hinting that the train will crash into a river miles away. What will happen to Carter and his family, who have little chance of survival? So the film ended with a huge cliffhanger, leaving the door open for a sequel. Unfortunately, though, we will have to be patient for now.

At the end of Netflix’s Carter, Carter has the device in the back of his head removed after they leave the facility so he can access his memories again. The result is that his entire life is practically playing out before his eyes. He confirms that the woman is his wife and that their daughter, who contracted DMZ at the beginning of the coup, is the child they took with them when they left the facility with Ha-na.

The group is being pursued by North Korean militants who have broken out of the facility because they need Dr. Jung’s daughter to find a cure for the pandemic. But because everyone is determined to protect the child who brought them back together, one last big brawl breaks out on a freight train, pitting Carter against the command. When Carter finally overthrows the coup, the freight train heads into a valley with its safe, priceless cargo, while helicopters battle it out in a chess-like dogfight.
