Creator: Star Wars director sci-fi Rogue One sequel planned?

Science fiction films are rare in cinema. Originals even more so. But the Creator falls into both categories, regardless of visible inspiration.

Seven years after Rogue One, his Star Wars spin-off, Gareth Edwards is back on the big screen, and he has us in the war between man and machine, against the background of artificial intelligence, without denying the influence of George Lucas. The fourth feature film, as he explained in the interview.

Is it enough to follow in his model’s footsteps a little further to bring his own sci-fi saga to life? not so fast. he asked Direct About the possibility of continuing the creator, the director and screenwriter quickly closed the door.

“What I prefer about film over TV is that it has an ending”– says Gareth Edwards. “My favorite part of the story is the ending. I like when we work backwards from the end, that everything leads to this climax where the mic drops before the credits roll, those are my favorite movies…”

“I have no intention of doing a sequel or anything like that. I’m very happy to look at it as a whole, as a story that stands on its own. Those are my favorite movies.”

My favorite part of the story is the ending

Gareth Edwards is neither the first nor the last to express this desire. And more than one director turned to his comments to respond to the public’s pleas. which also translates to “Capitalizing on Box Office Success.”

Unfortunately for The Creator, and despite positive reviews, the American public preferred Super Pups (Paw Patrol 2) and Very Dirty Torture (Saw X) in its first weekend of operation.

After a summer marked by more original films (Barbie and Oppenheimer) winning franchises over the summer, the box office is returning to the ways we’re more used to. With a production budget of $80 million (excluding marketing costs), the creator should be able to do well without being so successful that it doesn’t lead to a sequel. But Gareth Edwards isn’t exactly complaining.
