New York, March 15, 2025, 6:37 PM EST – Acclaimed filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, known for his gripping 2011 pandemic thriller Contagion, is reportedly considering a new angle for a potential follow-up film, drawing inspiration from the alarming presence of plastic particles in human blood. According to a recent post by IndieWire on X, Soderbergh is exploring the concept of “plastic in our blood” as a thematic entry point for another installment in the Contagion universe, signaling a shift toward contemporary environmental concerns intersecting with public health crises.

The original Contagion, written by Scott Z. Burns and directed by Soderbergh, depicted a fictional viral outbreak that mirrored real-world pandemics like SARS and the 2009 swine flu, gaining renewed attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its realistic portrayal of scientific and societal responses resonated globally, making it a cultural touchstone. Now, nearly 15 years later, Soderbergh’s interest in a “philosophical sequel” suggests a broader exploration of modern threats to humanity, as reported in a 2020 IndieWire article. That piece revealed Soderbergh and Burns were already brainstorming a follow-up that would pair with Contagion but diverge in context, focusing on new, thought-provoking ideas.

The “plastic in our blood” concept ties into recent scientific findings, such as a 2022 study published on ScienceDirect, which detected and quantified plastic particles in human blood, highlighting a pervasive environmental health crisis. This could serve as a metaphor or literal plot device in Soderbergh’s potential project, blending the chaos of a contagion with the insidious infiltration of microplastics into the human body—a stark commentary on pollution’s long-term impact.

While details remain scarce, the project is said to be in its early stages, unlikely to be a direct sequel but rather a thematic companion to Contagion. Fans of Soderbergh’s work, known for films like Ocean’s Eleven and Traffic, are buzzing with anticipation, eager to see how he might weave science, philosophy, and suspense into this innovative narrative. As of now, no release date or production timeline has been announced, but the idea has already sparked widespread curiosity in the film industry and beyond.
