Fans have been begging for a sequel to the sci-fi classic, The Fifth Element, for years. And to our surprise, Milla Jovovich agrees with the idea. She would love to play Leeloo again.
A Sequel To Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element
Actress Milla Jovovich has become an action icon, having starred in notable films such as The Fifth Element and the Resident Evil series. Now, she’s ready to lead a new franchise as Captain Natalie Artemis in Monster Hunter.
In the lead-up to the film’s global release, Jovovich and director Paul W. S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat) appeared at a virtual press junket to discuss their brand-new film, as well as their past projects. When asked which film or character she would’ve loved to revisit, Jovovich didn’t miss a beat in her response. “I always thought The Fifth Element should’ve had a sequel,” she said. “It was such a fun and revolutionary movie for its time. And Leeloo is just such a great character – and it’s too bad that we were unable to see her further adventures.”
While director Luc Besson has said he will never make a sequel to 1997’s The Fifth Element, fans around the world remain hopeful that we’ll eventually see another adventure with Leeloo and Korben Dallas.
Tell us, would you like to see The Fifth Element get a sequel and for Milla Jovovich to return as Leeloo?
