During a recent interview with The Playlist, Kelly shared some behind-the-scenes details about the initial decision to include that crossover detail, revealing that the scene involving his character was initially intended to be a post-credits sequence. Kelly tells the publication, "They shot the film, and then they were doing reshoots, and they added what was going to be a post-credit [scene]. One of those little pop-up things. And then they're like, 'No, we're going to make that the end of the movie.' I was like, 'Really?!' So even that happened after we shot it. It was pitched to me as a post-credit thing that if we move forward, we'd like your character to do that world."
Kelly went on to express his excitement about the potential crossover, noting that it was pitched to him as a way to expand the storylines of both franchises. Despite his enthusiasm, the actor then admitted that he hasn't heard any updates since the film's release and is unsure whether he'll actually return for the crossover flick. Still, since its release in 2023, the scene has sparked excitement among fans who are eager to see how the two iconic franchises might come together when that time finally comes.
