Playfully hinting at future developments during an interview with the YouTube channel What's Under the Bed?, he left the door ajar for forthcoming endeavors based on audience feedback and his creative musings.
"Maybe, I don't know. There is this one weird asterisk idea that, if I explained it, it would make sense, but let's see what happens," he expressed. "Let's get this movie done first, see if people like it, and we'll go from there."
