Filming of ‘Heat 2’ With Leonardo DiCaprio to Begin in January

Filming on Michael Mann’s crime thriller “Heat 2” is set to begin on January 19, 2027. The production boasts an ensemble cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Adam Driver and Stephen Graham.

Mann initially hoped to start shooting in the summer of 2026, before production was rescheduled for November. The start date has since been pushed back to January.

Mann will return as both writer and director. The film is based on his 2022 novel “Heat 2,” co-written with Meg Gardiner, and will serve as both a prequel and a sequel to the original 1995 film.

DiCaprio will play Chris Shiherlis, the character portrayed by Val Kilmer in the original. Bale will take on the role of detective Vincent Hanna, previously played by Al Pacino. Driver will portray the antagonist Otis Wardell, while Graham will play Neil McCauley, the character originally played by Robert De Niro.

Odessa Young, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Jason Clarke have also joined the cast. Production will take place in several countries, including the United States, Paraguay and Singapore.
