The Big Picture Despite being ignored during the Oscars award season in the aftermath of its release, the 2021 Netflix original movie, The Harder They Fall was a brilliant hit for the streamer. Boasting an impressive star-studded line-up both in front of and behind the camera, the film is a Western boxing noir film with a predominantly Black cast that received rave reviews from critics and audiences.
In the first week of its release according to Netflix, The Harder They Fall racked up an impressive 64 million hours. Such numbers hint quite clearly that it was a favorite among audiences. In response to a social media user on X who had revealed a desire to see a sequel of the movie in the works, director Samuel teased a sequel for the hit movie in two simple words — "There is." If The Harder They Fall 2 does materialize, then it can be considered to be an unexpected development.
The Harder They Fall tells the story of Nat Love , a fearsome outlaw, who sets out to eliminate his enemy Rufus Buck who has managed to escape the custody of the state. Given Buck's terrifying reputation and equally deadly crew, Love's quest for vengeance will see him and his own crew, face off his sworn enemy in a brutal showdown.
The Majors Complication Should a sequel begin to build momentum towards production, one of its major obstacles will be the legal challenges faced by lead actor, Majors. The actor who was very much a rising star at the time of the initial film's release, was arrested in March, earlier this year under charges of assault, harassment, and strangulation brought in an alleged domestic violence dispute with his girlfriend.
