A new official character poster was unveiled today over a series of postings on social media accounts for “City of Bones”. This time we are in for a treat with Jonathan getting his own gorgeous poster as the villain Valentine Morgenstern.

The poster has been added to the Gallery. In related news, it’s been announced that the production companies behind “City of Bones” will be shopping the distribution rights to the sequel “City of Ashes” in Cannes next week. Director Harald Zwart is returning to direct the sequel as well as stars Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower. Production on the follow-up would begin this fall. There’s no official word if Jonathan has signed on to the sequel but expectations are high. It also shows strong confidence from the producers that they are starting production on the sequel before the 1st movie even debuts.
