Unfortunately, at the moment there is no information and statements from the actors about the work on the film "Max Steel 2", the release date is unknown and the trailer has not been released. And we will try to figure out why.

Fans think the film is average, although it doesn't have high ratings. Some viewers saw great potential in him and were really looking forward to the sequel, since the first part did not answer all the questions that worried fans. There was even a petition to film the second part of Max Steele. (Link to petition)
Film critics consider the film the weakest attempt to bring the game franchise to the big screens in the last couple of years due to the poorly developed script and rather faded actor, who played the main role, Ben Winchell (“Necessary Cruelty”, “Feeding,” “Finding Carter”).
Interesting Facts
Did you know that:
- Two TV series were also shot about the superhero: Max Steel 2000-2002. Rating: IMDb - 6.2 / "Max Steel" 2013-2015. Rating: KinoPoisk - 6.2, IMDb - 6.8.
- Max Steele is a line of toys from Mattel (their flagship is the line of Barbie dolls).
- Also auditioned for the role of Max McGrath were Noah Silver (Tyrant, Borgia) and Dylan Minnette (13 Reasons Why, Escape, Supernatural).
While it is hard to believe in the continuation of the film, there is no exact information about the release date or about the actors of the film "Max Steel 2", the trailer can only be viewed on the first part. The first part collected a lot of negative reviews, and the studio has no interest in creating the second part. Perhaps in 5 years one of the directors will decide to make a reboot, but so far nobody is interested in it.
