A Heat sequel is in development with Leonardo DiCaprio involved and undecided about whether to portray Chris Shiherlis or Vincent Hanna. Production remains a ways away and development is ongoing. The project will tip its hat to Heat and function as an homage while explicitly picking up the original story. The narrative will span future and past timelines and will be framed as its own silo. The creative intent is to avoid duplicating the original film and to establish a distinct, unique entity with its own identity.
