Four Brothers Sequel Planned

We're not sure who's been hanging outside the cinema clamouring for this one, but apparently Mark Wahlberg is planning a sequel to Four Brothers, his 2005 thriller that co-starred Tyrese Gibson, Andre Benjamin and Garret Hedlund. Only this time he's calling it... Five Brothers.

After checking the calendar, we're pretty sure it's not April 1 and he's therefore serious. The original film saw the four actors above team up to investigate the apparently random death of the foster mother who raised them - and eventually get revenge on her killer. Plot details for this one are being kept under wraps, but we'd be amazed if there isn't a similar vengeance aspect to it.

Original writers David Elliot and Paul Lovett, last seen marshalling G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra last summer, have apparently been working with Wahlberg on the script, and Lorenzo di Bonaventura is once again set to produce. Whether the rest of the cast or original director John Singleton return remains to be seen.

And where will he find a fifth brother?* Suggestions please below.

*In fact, SPOILER SPOILER

given that Garret Hedlund died in the first film, where will he find a fourth?
