A sequel never happened, though, in part due to the busy schedules of Pitt and Fincher, as well as concerns about the reported budget of $190 million. World War Z made more than $540 million worldwide at the box office. He added that the title sequence for his World War Z sequel was going to use 'the little parasite' that HBO used in The Last of Us' own opening title sequence. It never happened, but Fincher has now shared some insight into what he was thinking about, and it was going to be similar to HBO's The Last of Us.įincher told GQ, 'Well, it was a little like The Last of Us.' He said he now feels glad that his World War Z sequel never materialized, because 'The Last of Us has a lot more real estate to explore the same stuff.' Oscar-nominated director David Fincher was at one point lined up to direct a sequel to the 2013 zombie movie World War Z starring Brad Pitt.
