Star John Boyega recently shared a promising update for Attack the Block 2. Boyega starred as Moses in the science-fiction horror centered on a group of teenagers in South London during an alien invasion. After mugging Samantha (Jodie Whittaker), meteorites fall from the sky harboring terrifying alien creatures. To protect their neighborhood, Moses and his friends team up with Samantha to take on the invading threat. Rounding out the cast is Nick Frost as Ron the local marijuana dealer and Luke Treadaway as Brewis, one of Ron's customers who inadvertently becomes caught up in the action-packed mayhem.

Although the film did not do well at the box office, only securing only £4 million against its £8 million budget, Attack the Block received rave reviews for its taught storytelling, simple yet effective special effects, and outstanding performances from its young cast. Following its release to home media, the film went on to become a cult classic with fans. Since its 2011 theatrical release, director Joe Cornish has been repeatedly asked about a potential sequel with the filmmaker finally announcing in May 2021 that he started development on Attack the Block 2.

Unfortunately, not much has been revealed by Boyega pertaining to the story of Attack the Block 2. The actor revealed that he and Cornish are actively working on the next chapter of Attack the Block, most likely breaking the narrative before the actual writing of the sequel begins. But barring any specific details, viewers can only speculate as to what the upcoming film will entail.

Attack the Block ended with Moses and his friends defeating the aliens but suffering some serious loses. He and Pest (Alex Esmail) were tossed in the back of a paddy wagon to be taken to jail, but were treated by the local crowd chanting Moses' name in a show of gratitude for what he had done for the community. With over 10 years gone since the events of the first film, the sequel must deal with how Moses and his friend's childhoods affected their lives, depicting where the gang ended up in the world after saving it from aliens. Whether Moses became an upstanding citizen or succumbed to a life of crime. Whether Samantha became a doctor or if that night changed the course of her life forever. Without any new details regarding the specific plot details of Attack the Block 2, audiences must wait until Boyega or Cornish deliver another update with news about the sequel.
