Los Angeles: "Lucy 2", a sequel to the 2014 sci-fi, action movie starring Scarlett Johansson, is in development.

The presentation for Luc Besson's Paris-based Europa Corp at CineEurope 2015 revealed a number of their upcoming titles including a sequel to "Lucy", reported Ace Showbiz.

The announcement didn't reveal whether Johansson would be returning to reprise her role as the titular character. A prospective return by the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" actress would help the sequel boost their marketability and continuity.

Other movies which are also in development according to the announcement include "Colombiana 2", "Twice" directed by Jean-Francois Richet, "The Kawasaki Syndrome", "Sea at War", "DNA", "Sentence" and "Underground" written by Besson.

Besson previously said that a sequel to the sci-fi action film was "unlikely." "Lucy" follows a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.

It also starred Morgan Freeman, Analeigh Tipton, Choi Min Sik and Amr Waked.
