Mark Wahlberg is in training to film The Fighter 2. 'Before I made the first one I knew that the second one was in the pipeline,' Wahlberg told NBC's PopcornBiz this week.

'I’d like to do it sooner rather than later, because I’m already training,' he added. 'I already sustained another injury. I shattered my knuckle. We’re still training every day.'
