“It’s never too late,” Koppleman tweeted regarding making a sequel.Īssuming Rounders 2 is ever made, what would its plot be? I’m going to discuss two valid scenarios along with which characters would be brought back. Rounders co-writer Brian Koppleman even mentioned the possibility when responding to Daniel Negreanu’s tweet in 2019.
That said, the sequel idea remains alive over two decades later. The first film only grossed $22.9 million against a $12 million budget. Rounders 2 would most likely be a much bigger box-office draw than its predecessor. As a result, many people have speculated over if a Rounders sequel will be released.
In fact, no other poker film even comes close to Rounders in terms of greatness. Released in 1998, Rounders remains the paradigm for poker movies.
