“We got to see this first one first,” said Grace when asked when a second film might be on the way. “But there’s definitely some talks about what it could be. I’ve seen some of what we’ve shot, obviously in the playback and stuff like that, and it’s insane.”

Grace went on to say that she and filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah have already begun talks about a sequel and where it would take the heroine.

“We’ve already been talking about where do we take this from here because there’s so much that happens in this film,” Grace said. “There are a lot of different themes in the plot that we touch on. It’s not just the action. There’s a love story. There’s this father-daughter relationship. There’s looking at the world through a lens that isn’t just black and white and seeing the color and the spectrum between things.”
