Lords of War, the sequel to the 2005 film Lord Of War, will be headlined by Nicolas Cage and Bill Skarsgård. Directed by Andrew Niccol, the film will reunite the director with Vendome Pictures.

Niccol will also write the script for the sequel to his 2005 crime thriller Lord Of War. While Cage will reprise his role as Yuri Orlov, the arms dealer, Skarsgård will appear as his son. In the sequel, Orlov will discover the existence of his son, Anton, who tries to top his father's wrongs, instead of stopping them. The problem ensues when he launches a mercenary army to fight America’s Middle East conflicts.

The shoot of the sequel will begin in Fall 2023. Philippe Rousselet and Fabrice Gianfermi, who produced the original, are returning in the same role for Lords of War under their Vendôme Pictures banner, with Cage also producing via his Saturn Films banner. Skarsgård is executive producing.
