The Descent 2 is the upcoming sequel to the Neil Marshall film, The Descent. Although Marshall has no plans to direct the film, he tells Bloody-Disgusting.com, " A treatment is in the works, I’m not directing it, but I will oversee it and want to be a part of it."

Marshall received the first draft of the film in late July 2006, with no directors or cast in mind. He has made it clear that this film won't be a "rehashing of the first" and that he wants this film to incorporate more of the feeling of claustrophobia like that of a particular scene in the previous film. Marshall tells Bloody-Disgusting.com on new ideas for the film, "The monsters they can deal with, and a bit of the claustrophobia, they can deal with, but the combination is definitely something we want to incorporate that into the sequel, by putting the monster and the girls in a really tight spot." It seems Marshall will also keep the films connected by having an all woman cast for the sequel as well.

When The Descent was re-released in 2006 for The United States, Lionsgate picked up the film as distributor and edited the last few minutes of the film, changing the ending somewhat. When Dreadcentral.com asked Marshall which of films two endings would the sequel would be picking up after, he said that it won't be known until he approves a script.
