Is Marco 2 being made without Unni Mukundan? Makers spill beans
Marco was hyped as one of the most violent films of Mollywood and received a mixed response from audiences. Although the Unni Mukundan starrer was a massive hit in terms of box office numbers, viewers nonetheless were critical of the scale of violence shown in the film, finding it inappropriate for display. Makers share big update on Marco 2 plans Recently, Cubes Entertainments, the makers of the film Marco, responded to a fan's query about its sequel on their social media handle. A netizen took to the comment section and inquired whether the Malayalam action thriller is getting a sequel or if the rights to Marco will be sold to another production house. In response, a spokesperson from Cube Entertainments mentioned that the rights of the Unni Mukundan starrer is with them and they're not open to transferring or sharing these rights to anyone else. They further highlighted that discussions for Marco 2 were still ongoing and that they consider it to become a high-potential film franchise overall. Their reply read as 'Thank you for the overwhelming love and support for Marco. Discussions regarding the Marco series are still not over yet. Cubes Entertainments exclusively owns all rights to the Marco, and we firmly believe the journey of Marco holds immense potential. Please note: We are not open to transferring or sharing the rights of this franchise.'

Unni Mukundan Shelves Marco 2 Plans Due To 'Too Much Negativity'
Unni didn't dodge it. In a candid reply, he wrote, 'Bro, apologies, but I have dropped plans to continue the Marco series. Too much negativity around the project. I'll try my best to bring something bigger and better than Marco. Thanks for all the love and positivity. Cheers." Take a look: The original Marco, a gritty crime thriller, was a commercial success and had stirred buzz for a sequel. Helmed by director Haneef Adeni, the film stood out for its gripping narrative and striking visuals. But Marco also drew flak for its intense violence and morally ambiguous characters. The mixed reactions, especially the criticism over its dark tone, seem to have played a part in Unni Mukundan's decision to call off the sequel. Veteran actor Jagadish, who portrayed the menacing antagonist Tony Isaac in Marco, had earlier weighed in on the controversy. At a press event, he said, 'The question is, do audiences like the character or Jagadish as a person? In Marco, my character supports violence. But does the audience like Tony Isaac or Jagadish? If it's Jagadish they like, then let me be clear, I have never spoken in favour of violence." Marco is a 2024 Malayalam neo-noir action thriller directed and written by Haneef Adeni. Produced by Shareef Muhammed under the Cubes Entertainments banner, the film features Unni Mukundan in the lead as Marco Jr., a cold-blooded gangster raised by the feared Adattu crime family. The story kicks off after the violent death of his blind foster brother Victor, triggering Marco's brutal path of vengeance. The film, a standalone spin-off of Mikhael, exists in the same universe, with some familiar characters placed in a new narrative. It also stars Siddique, Jagadish, Kabir Duhan Singh, Abhimanyu Shammi Thilakan, Anson Paul, Ishaan Shoukath, and Yukti Thareja in key roles. Gritty, violent, and stylized, Marco made waves for its dark themes and intense storytelling. Meanwhile, Unni Mukundan was last seen in the comedy-drama Get Set Baby, directed by Vinay Govind.
