Hayden Christensen has confirmed he is to star in the sequel to 'Jumper'.The movie, co-starring Jamie Bell and Rachel Bilson, was released to a lacklustre response earlier this year, but Hayden insists there will be another instalment - eventually.He said: "We're talking about it. I know that they're having those conversations, I hear about them. "It was set up to become a trilogy - if it did well. And I think they're happy with how it did so they want to make another one. But I don't think they're rushing to get into production."Hayden revealed he enjoyed playing his character because he wasn't a conventional hero.He added: "He doesn't put a cape on and pull a Superman. There is nothing malicious about what he is doing, but he is not trying to save the world. That was one of the really appealing aspects about the character, that he was someone with these rogue attributes. He doesn't necessarily step into the hero shoes, not ever, or at least until the last part of the film."In 'Jumper', the actor played David Rice, who was able to teleport himself at will but often failed to use his powers for the greater good.
