Will We Ever Get The Martian 2? – Looper

Despite heavy doses of rumor and speculation (via Half Guarded)that a "Martian" sequel is or at least, was underway, "The Martian 2" never attained liftoff, much less a countdown to launch. Instead, Andy Weir has another space adventure underway, but this one is based on his crime thriller set on the moon.

Following up on the success of "The Martian," the Los Angeles Times reported in 2017 that Weir's next movie adaptation would be of his novel "Artemis." IMDb, however, lists "Artemis"as in development, with "The LEGO Movie" and "21 Jump Street"filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller listed the directors.

While the plot outline of "Artemis" is unique, it hardly could be considered as a sequel to "The Martian." In an interview with Indulge Express, Weir said the story "takes place in a city on the moon in the late 21st century. The main character is a woman who is a small-time criminal, and she gets in way over her head."
