Might Tim Olyphant Be Back for Hitman 2?

There's been talk lately of 20th Century Fox doing a sequel to their hit action movie Hitman, but as they work on figuring out a script, ComingSoon.net caught up with the movie's lead actor Tim Olyphant at the junket for David Twohy's A Perfect Getaway and asked whether we might see him returning as Agent 47 in the proposed Hitman 2.

"It's not on my schedule," he said diplomatically. "If they want me to do another one, I supposed they could have me, yes," he suggested when asked whether he signed on to do more than one movie. "The things that I've got in front of me right now I'm really excited about the television show. What I can tell you about ‘Hitman' is that I'm thrilled that it was as successful as it was and it was a really nice opportunity and I appreciate that opportunity."
