Summary
Anthony Ramos is already excited about the idea of aTwisterssequel. Coming 28 years after the originalTwistermovie, the sequel follows a team of storm chasers trying to cope after a tornado killed three members of the team. It has little in-universe connection to the first movie, as it features a new team with its own unique story. WithTwisters' $200 million budget, it will need a massive box office take to succeed, but it is already setting itself up well with its $123.2 million global opening.
The success is already sparking ideas of a sequel for Ramos, who played Javi. In an interview withEntertainment Weekly, Ramos described potential ideas for future stories that could involve Kate, Tyler, and Javi reuniting and returning to life as storm chasers.Entertainment Weeklyreports that the rest of the cast is also interested in continuing the narrative, though the only major statement came from Ramos. Check out his full quote below:
What’s going to happen between the three of them? She’s going back to New York. And if Tyler is going with her and I’m staying behind, but I’m talking to them about ‘Now we got to put the lab together, and we got to figure out how we’re going to make this work and what the new setup is going to be….’ I think that leaves the story open to what are the new challenges they’re going to face. What’s the next chapter of this story? What’s the thing that they don’t see yet that’s coming? That gets me excited. How are Tyler and Javi going to work together? How’s that going to happen? Hopefully, we get another one, and we continue to grow in this world because it’s such a big world and it’s such a big community. These storm chasers go through so much. The stories are never-ending, man.

Even if it staggers after its first weekend, it should still be able to achieve some level of success after its initial $123.2 million take. With such strong responses, a sequel is likely.
