“You want me to lose my job, is that it?” joked while participating in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “This is where I use all the mental gymnastics I can to answer that question.”
“It’s definitely happening, it should probably start there. People, whether online or in person, ask me every day, and tell me every day how much they liked the first movie. And I think there’s so much goodwill, and I’m deeply grateful that’s why,” he added.
“So please know that if you’ve ever messaged me, asked about the sequel, or just approached me in any way, I really take it seriously, and I really appreciate it. I think I speak for myself and for Destin ( Daniel Cretton), our director, when I say that we are super excited to return to the franchise,” concluded.
