He later teases the next entry's surprising status, elaborating, "Then we're just about to start tomorrow morning, actually, part two. And then we hope there's gonna be a third part, and it's a trilogy."

Additionally, filmmaker Nia DaCosta was confirmed to step in as the director of the untiled second entry in this new trilogy.
