Angelina Jolie is one of the most renowned female action actresses in the industry and was a regular face in action movies during the mid-2000s. The Wanted actress is often praised for her dedication to performing her stunts and pushing herself physically and mentally for her roles, which earned her the reputation as one of the most committed actresses in Hollywood. The actress has played in several action movies in her career, with Salt being one of her best movies.
Salt, the 2010 action thriller movie starring Angelina Jolie was a massive hit, as it collected $293.5 million worldwide at the Box Office. The movie was a commercial as well as a critical success, as both loved the actress’ performance.
Why Was Salt 2 Cancelled?
The 2010 action movie starring the Wanted actress was a smash hit at the Box Office, as well as it presented a stellar cast that featured Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Andre Braugher in the movie. But most important of all, the movie ended, teasing a sequel to the fans. The movie had an open ending, which showed that Evelyn Salt was a sleeper agent, but she has proved her loyalty to the CIA, and she vowed that she will hunt down the remaining sleeper agents which was a potential story for the sequel.
However, the sequel never took place. In 2012, Angelina Jolie was presented with a script for the sequel of the 2010 film, but she rejected it. Later, there were several reports of a potential sequel, but the presence of the Eternals actress remained in question. In addition to a potential sequel of the film, in 2016, reports of a Salt TV Series started to emerge, where the story would continue from the events of the film’s endings. However, there were not many reports of the series, as the script looked similar to The Blacklist. Hence, after years of unsuccessful trials, the series died out.
Angelina Jolie Replaced Tom Cruise in Salt
While Tom Cruise’s Knight and Day collected only $262 million at the Box Office, Salt performed comparatively better, and even now in 2023, the movie is a fan favorite due to its high-speed chases, well-choreographed action scenes, and the ability to narrate a compelling story to the viewers.
