What To Expect From The Little Things 2

Will a sequel to The Little Things happen? Warner Bros.’ neo-noir psychological crime thriller was simultaneously released in theaters and on HBO Max on January 29. The Little Things is the studio’s second film to hit the big and small screens at once. Warner Bros. used the same strategy with Wonder Woman: 1984 and announced last December that its 2021 slate of films, including Dune, Godzilla vs. Kong, Mortal Kombat, and The Matrix 4, will all follow suit. With the pandemic still raging and the future of movie theaters in peril, instead of pushing release dates back, Warner Bros. is giving people the option of staying at home or venturing to the movies. Will that approach impact a potential sequel to The Little Things?

The Little Things, directed and written by John Lee Hancock, stars Denzel Washington as Joe “Deke” Deacon, a former Los Angeles homicide detective working as a deputy in Kern County. Haunted by his failure to catch a serial killer, Deke finds himself drawn back into the investigation, headed by Jim Baxter (Rami Malik). The men hone in on a suspect, Albert Sparma (played by Jared Leto), a true-crime fan whose interest in the case leads Baxter and Deke to believe he’s guilty.

Deke and Baxter’s efforts to find evidence to prove Sparma’s guilt becomes an obsession and Deke’s unconventional methods create inner conflict for Baxter, a devoutly religious man who prefers to do things by the book. Further fueling their quest for justice is Sparma’s enjoyment at taunting Deke and Baxter, leaving viewers to question if he’s guilty or derives pleasure from playing cat and mouse. The Little Things doesn’t give the audience a tidy ending, which means there are enough unanswered questions to justify a sequel.

What To Expect From The Little Things 2

John Lee Hancock told Deadline he wrote The Little Things screenplay in 1993 as part of a three-picture deal with Warner Bros. The film languished for close to 30 years as high profile directors Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, and Danny DeVito all passed before Hancock took the helm. If The Little Things resonates with audiences, Warner Bros. may capitalize on its popularity, which could mean a later 2022 release. The Little Things has received only lukewarm attention so far, making it unlikely the studio will fast track a sequel.

Jared Leto is open to reprising his role as Sparma in a possible The Little Things 2. During an appearance on Jake’s Takes, Leto said it would be “amazing” to see Sparma in another movie or a prequel. Leto’s schedule is jam-packed thanks to his upcoming roles in the Spiderman spin-off Morbius, Ridley Scott’s Gucci, and Tron 3.

Neither Washington nor Rami Malek has expressed an interest in being part of a sequel to The Little Things. Washington has only appeared in one sequel in his entire career, 2018’s The Equalizer 2. The actor can be seen next in Joel Cohen’s Macbeth. Malek recently completed filming on the latest James Bond movie, No Time To Die, and has signed on to star in director David O’ Russell’s untitled project.

The Little Things 2 Story Details

The Little Things ending means that it would have to be a prequel for Leto to be involved. Denzel Washington’s Deke and Rami Malek’s Jim Baxter could team up again to go after another killer, but since Baxter’s future as a detective is left uncertain, that storyline would have to include how he overcomes the trauma he undergoes in The Little Things. Deke’s character is The Little Things most compelling, and his failed attempt at redemption, combined with the fact that Sparma’s guilt isn’t confirmed and the killer could still be at large, provides a plot for The Little Things 2.
