"Bright 2" On Netflix



Development continues on the greenlit Netflix sequel "Bright 2", directed by David Ayer ("Suicide Squad"), written by Ayer and Evan Spiliotopoulos, starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton:


"...in Bright', set in an alternate present, where humans live in uneasy peace with 'orcs', 'elves' and other races after fighting each other for thousands of years, Los Angeles, veteran 'LAPD' police officer 'Daryl Ward' is involuntarily partnered with 'Nick Jakoby', the nation's first 'orkish' police officer. 


"Jakoby is ostracized by humans and orcs alike—by humans for his race, and by orcs for being a cop. In addition to the pushback from other officers, Ward is also personally ambivalent towards him...


"...following an incident where Ward was shot and Jakoby apparently let the assailant get away. Then during a trip back to the station, an arrested man tells Jakoby both officers are involved in a prophecy and that Ward is blessed. While Jakoby is booking the prisoner, Ward is approached by 'Internal Affairs' who say they believe Jakoby put his 'ethnic loyalties' before his partner. 


"Ward, faced with significant personal financial burdens, is pressured to getting his partner to confess on tape so they will have publicly acceptable grounds to fire Jakoby.


"It later turns out during an interrogation conducted by 'Kandomere', an 'elf' working for the federal 'Department of Magic's Magic Task Force', that the man arrested by Ward and Jakoby is part of a fringe militant group named 'Shield of Light' that is preparing against the return of the 'Dark Lord'..."
