The much-talked-about Marco sequel officially moves forward, and it comes with a huge update, the makers have registered the title Lord Marco with the Film Chamber, confirming that the gangster saga will continue. Fans quickly noticed one key detail: Unni Mukundan, who played the iconic Marco in the 2024 blockbuster, will not return for the project.

Lord Marco Title Registration Creates Buzz

Director Haneef Adeni and producer Shareef Muhammed took the first big step toward reviving the Marco franchise by locking the title. Their decision shows that production house Cubes Entertainments remains determined to explore Marco’s dark underworld despite earlier controversies.

The official registration note listed the director’s name but excluded Unni Mukundan, which confirmed that the sequel will feature a new lead actor. This update immediately set social media on fire, and fans began speculating about who might step into the shoes of the feared gangster.

Fans Predict Big Names as Replacement

Unni Mukundan’s absence triggered heated debates online. Fans suggested big stars like Mammootty, Yash, Hrithik Roshan, and Prithviraj Sukumaran as possible contenders for the role. Many argued that the franchise’s brutal, stylish world needs even bigger star power in its sequel.

Unni Mukundan Explains His Exit

Unni Mukundan had already hinted months ago that he would not return for Marco 2. Earlier this year, he candidly replied to a fan, admitting that he had dropped plans to continue the series because of too much negativity around the project. He assured fans that he would work on something “bigger and better” in the future, keeping the door open for fresh projects but not for Marco.

Marco’s Success and What Comes Next

The first film, promoted as the “most violent Malayalam film ever,” made history when it crossed Rs 100 crore at the global box office and became the highest-grossing A-rated Malayalam film. TV and OTT platforms banned the film because of its extreme violence and gore, but its theatrical success fueled fan interest in a sequel. The film ended on a cliffhanger, showing Marco surrounded by thugs while the kid he saved went missing, teasing an even more intense confrontation.

With Lord Marco now officially moving forward, fans eagerly wait for an official cast announcement and the first look at the new actor who will carry Marco’s dark legacy. The sequel promises to expand the gritty universe and deliver more high-octane action, keeping the franchise alive and buzzing.
