Actor Armie Hammer wants to make a sequel to 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'.The actor said he and film's director, Guy Ritchie , also discussed about the possible follow-up. According to a report, Hammer said, "I'd love to. (Guy and I) had some chats about it and we talked about potential script ideas and stuff like that. I've been talking to Lionel (Wigram), who produced and co-wrote and wrote the first one. Yeah, we'll see. You never know what's going to happen". The actor, however, said Ritchie is currently busy to think about the second movie. "It all depends. Guy's really busy right now doing 'Aladdin' , so we'll see. You never know," he said.

SyFy Wire: "You Should be Watching: The Man From UNCLE (2015)"

YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING: THE MAN FROM UNCLE (2015) Spy remakes are a dime a dozen, especially those mined from the world of the small screen. 1998’s  The Avengers , starring Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes, was an attempt to adapt the successful British TV series of the same name, but flopped at the box office. Ten years later,  Get Smart  was revived as a film with Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, but performed only moderately better. Even the wildly popular  Mission: Impossible  franchise, which has now become a vehicle for Tom Cruise to try to maintain his relevancy as an action star, began as a television show (not to mention a revival series with a mostly different cast). Next to all of these, Guy Ritchie’s  The Man From UNCLE  may not appear that impressive. At the very least, it seems redundant. But closer examination unearths a hidden gem amongst other reboots that have tried and failed to capture their audiences’ nostalgia-driven excite...
