He stated that it was not his intention to do both at the same time, adding that Netflix executives have given him the option to decide which movie to make first between the two, but he has decided to explore both at the same time. He said: “I’m exploring both, writing outlines, pitching ideas and talking to Sullivan,” referring to Owen Sullivan, who is Sea Beast’s head of story, and who will co-direct on the sequel.
