Director Gina Prince-Bythewood opened up about a potential sequel to Digital Spy, explaining: "It is about the audience, does the audience want to see more? Obviously you hope an audience wants to see more. I know that Greg Rucka, who wrote the graphic novel in the script, he always envisioned this as a trilogy. I know where the story goes, and it's pretty great. So if the audience is eager for it, there's definitely more stories to tell."
