A teaser poster to Gareth Evans' highly anticipated sequel The Raid 2 has been unveiled.
The Indonesian movie, which is apparently set mere hours after the 2011 original and features a prison riot sequence at some point, will see the return of Iko Uwais as lead character Rama.
What's more interesting, though, is that the poster also seems to hint at the return of Mad Dog, the standout enemy from the first. How this is possible is beyond me (think a Commando sequel that sees Bennett return sans steam pipe) but it's very welcome.
Evans claims that the most recent cut of the film features "One hour and five minutes" of solid action, so presumably he's going for the same "fight now, plot later" policy that carried the first film.
And quite right, too - the original is, in my opinion, the very best action movie to be released since Die Hard.
The Raid 2 has a lot to live up to when it is released next year.
