The Boondock Saints are returning to action, with a new film in the works and the original stars set to return. Deadline reports that Thunder Road, who produce the John Wick films, are teaming up with Dragonfly Films for a “universe expansion” of the fan-favorite cult action franchise.

The report notes that franchise creator Troy Duffy will not be back to direct the film. Duffy directed the 1999 original and its 2019 sequel, which starred Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery as the MacManus brothers who go on a vigilante spree to rid Boston of crime. A new director is being sought for the latest film.

While neither film were big money makers in theaters, the franchise has remained a favorite for many and there have been attempts to bring a new entry to the screen for some time.

Reedus said in a statement, “I’m thrilled to be working alongside Basil Iwanyk’s Thunder Road Films and Todd Myers’ Dragonfly Films to bring more of the story of the Boondock Saints to audiences. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have long been working toward. We are pressing on without our longtime friend and Captain, Troy Duffy on this one. He has decided to write a Boondock Saints book series and I can’t wait to read it.”

Flanery added: “Basil and Todd are the perfect partners to bust the brothers out of prison. With Basil and Todd at the helm, this will be the best Saints yet. So now it’s time for the brothers to break out the pea coats, re-load, and get back to work.”
