The Return of Josey Wales is a 1986 American Western film directed by and starring Michael Parks[2][3] It is a sequel to Clint Eastwood's 1976 film The Outlaw Josey Wales and was adapted from The Vengeance Trail of Josey Wales, the 1976 second novel featuring the Josey Wales character, by Asa Earl Carter. The novel was published under Carter's pen name, Forrest Carter, which he used to present a false persona involving a claim of Cherokee ancestry.[4]
The Eastwood film had been based on the author's 1973 novel The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales.[4] Eastwood had planned to adapt The Vengeance Trail of Josey Wales himself as a sequel to his original film, but his project was eventually cancelled.[5]
