Joseph Kosinski reckoned that the production crew was currently brainstorming what the next chapter for Sonny Hayes, played by Brad Pitt in the movie, would be in the sequel.

We’re in that stage of just kind of dreaming up what that next chapter for Sonny Hayes would be and for APXGP. But, you know, based on the reaction from around the world to this movie, it’s something that people wanna see and I’d be happy to go back and do it because we had so much fun making this one.
