Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, while McG says it’s possible for a third movie, “it would take a long discussion with those three wonderful performers who I adore.”

He added that “maybe we’ve got one left in us that tells a very compelling story if the opportunity presents itself. I love the three of them so much. They put me on the map. They looked out for me when I was a first-time filmmaker.”

McG recalled that he was “nearly fired off that film on many, many occasions, and Drew stood up for me and I’m forever indebted to her. And obviously, those are three performers where God broke the mold. They don’t make ’em like that. I mean, those are three special ones.”

He also spoke about the most recent iteration of the franchise, in 2019, which was directed by Elizabeth Banks, and starred Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska.

“I was very happy to see Elizabeth Banks take the helm and do what she did, which was fun,” he says. “There always seems to be chatter about that. I’m very happy to discuss it with Drew and Cameron and Lucy, but at the same time, I’m very happy to pass the torch. I mean, I love the Tim Burton Batman movies, I love the new Batman movies. It’s just sort of like there can be a keeper of the flame and you can pass the torch.”

McG‘s comments come after Drew opened up about her ideas for a third film last year.
