The third installment in the Egyptian actor Ahmed El Sakka-lead "Al Jazeera" (The Island) franchise got an upsetting update regarding its release date.
Released in 2007, the first film follows Mansour taking charge as the leader of a drug cartel in Upper Egypt and setting his own rules after the death of his father, but the unresponsive government of the land soon springs into action against him.
The second entry was released in 2014 and sees Mansour al Hanafi escape prison to the island after the January 25 Revolution, only to find Sheikh Khaled emerged changing the balance of power.
The cast also stars the likes of Hend Sabry, the late Khaled Saleh, Khaled El Sawy, Nidal Al-Shafi’i, Arwa Gouda, Ahmed Malek, Samy Maghawry, Mohamed El Tagy, and more.

Addressing the possibility of making a third entry of the franchise, El Sakka clarified that he had not heard of the news before.
"This is the first time I've heard of this. The decision is up to Professor Sherif Arafa and Mohamed Diab, the film's director and screenwriter, only god knows how will they make it work. I have no idea about the matter," he said.
El Sakka is currently participating in the Ramadan 2025 with season 2 of the star-studded TV series "El Atawla".
The cast of season 2 features original cast members Tarek Lotfy, Zeina, Bassem Samra, Hoda Eletreby, Mostafa Abo Sriea, Mariam El Gendy, and more. It also stars newcomers Fifi Abdou, Nesreen Amin, and Tharaa Goubail.
