Charlize Theron is ready to suit up as Lorraine Broughton again. Theron has confirmed an Atomic Blonde sequel is in the works, telling IndieWire, “We’re working on a sequel.”

Atomic Blonde starred Theron as Broughton in the 1980s-set film. Broughton is the crown jewel of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service who is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.

Directed by David Leitch, The film was a hit with critics and made money with a $98.4 million worldwide take on a $30 million budget. Leitch previously said he would like to take the character a few years ahead into the 1990s for the next film, though that isn’t confirmed yet.
