Sharlto Copley has admitted that he has discussed a District 9 sequel with director Neill Blomkamp.
The movie, which was released last year, was the breakout film for both Copley and the movie's director as District 9 was met with huge critical praise.
Despite having no big name in the movie it went on to gross over $204 million at the global box office and was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
There has been of talk of a sequel ever since the movie's release and Copley admits that he would be up for a second movie.
"Neill has said several times that he wants to do another one. It's really coming down to a timing issue.
"I think eventually, what Neill wants to do - I'm doing films now as an actor - when Neill commits to something he obviously commits for a significant period of time.
"At the end of the day, it'll be up to when Neill wants to do it, but I know he wants to. I would love to go back to the world and the character. I really enjoyed the character."
And Copley, who will star in The A-Team this summer, admits that he would like the movie to stay on Earth and in Johannesburg.
"I would definitely want to keep it grounded on Earth. I definitely have more interest, personally, in work that feels a little bit grounded. It's work that's easier for me to relate to.
"I think that was the edge with 'District 9,' the world of Johannesburg and the world of South Africa. I would hope that it would stay there.
"But you never know with Neill - he really is a genius! If he came up with a good way to put it in another planet, I'd be interested! I'd be there in a second."
