Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is to get a sequel, it has been confirmed.

It’s unknown if actors Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton will return as their bounty hunter characters for the follow-up however Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Kevin Messick will return as producers.

The first film, which was directed by Tommy Wirkola, cost $50 million to make, and while it only returned $54 million in the US, overseas it raked in nearly three times that with $151.2 million.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
