There will be two more sequels coming from the 2002 drama film “Road to Perdition” that starred Tom Hanks, the first film being directed by Sam Mendes. “Road to Perdition” is about a young boy who lives with his family during the 1930’s, and he finds out what his father Michael Sullivan Sr. (Hanks) does for a living, he works for organized crime known as the mob.

Max Allan Collins is confirmed to write and direct the next two sequels to make the “Perdition” film into a full trilogy. The next sequel will be titled “Road to Purgatory” which will leave off from the first film, Michael Sullivan Jr. returns home from World War II and seeks revenge for the murder of his father. The third film will be titled “Road to Paradise” but this article didn’t reveal plot ideas for the third one though.

“Road To Perdition” starring Tom Hanks is one of my favorite films, I love that film to death but is a trilogy really necessary? I don’t know. Depends on how good the story is and who the casting is going to be and then I’ll decide if a full trilogy is worth it.
