In 2007, The New York Times reported that a sequel to Wall Street, to be subtitled Money Never Sleeps, was already in pre-production.[47] Michael Douglas would reprise his role as Gordon Gekko. The film would also focus on Gekko, recently released from prison and re-entering a much more chaotic financial world than the one he once oversaw.[47] Charlie Sheen would also reprise his character of Bud Fox, but only in a cameo role.[48] Daryl Hannah would not be involved in the sequel.[49][50]
But by April 2009, 20th Century Fox confirmed that the sequel was already in development and announced that Oliver Stone would direct.[51] In addition, Shia LaBeouf was cast with Josh Brolin.[52] Javier Bardem had been considered,[53] but Bardem dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.[54] The film was finally released on September 24, 2010 and received mixed reviews.[55]
