When asked for a sequel to the film, Phoenix said: "I don't think that I've ever done too many predictable things."

"So, if that came up, it's not as if we're following some rulebook. It's because we feel inspired again to explore the character more thoroughly. I think the only reason for me to do it. o that's all I can say about that," he added.

Speaking about working on Phillips' directorial, Phoenix stated that it was a long process.

"The way that I worked on this was quite erratic," he concluded.
