Bullock played Annie, one of the passengers on the bus.

During an interview, Reeves, who was part of Speed, revealed his reason for not returning for the sequel.
He said, “I really wanted to work with Sandra Bullock, I loved playing Jack Traven, and I loved Speed, but an ocean liner? I had nothing against the artists involved, but at that time I had the feeling it just wasn’t right.”
Speed 2 came out on June 13, 1997. The fans anticipated a lot from it. Despite the success of the first film, however, many critics and audiences found Speed 2 boring in comparison.
