The Creator’s Gareth Edwards rules out sequels and spin-offs

October 3, 2023 by EJ Moreno

If you enjoyed The Creator, savor what you have as director Gareth Ewards says this is a one-and-done experience.

In an interview with The Direct, the filmmaker shuts down any talk of a sequel or spin-off, calling The Creator “a self-contained” story.

Edwards tells the outlet, “My favorite thing about cinema versus television is that cinema ends. My favorite part of the story is the ending. And I really like it when you sort of work backward from the end, and everything’s leading up to this climax, where there’s a kind of mic drop moment, and in the credits roll, they’re my favorite kind of films…There’s no intention to do part two or anything like [that].”

“I’m very happy to see this being a standalone, one-off, self-contained story,” Edwards concludes. “[Those are] my favorite types of films.”

What do you make of The Creator? Let us know on our social channels and check out our written review of the film here, along with our video review below…

Written by the Rogue One director and Chris Weitz, from a story by Edwards, The Creator stars John David Washington (Tenet), Gemma Chan (Eternals), Ken Watanabe (Inception), Sturgill Simpson (Dog), newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles and Allison Janney (I, Tonya).

Amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua (Washington), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Chan), is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war… and mankind itself. Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory… only to discover the world-ending weapon he’s been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child.

The Creator is in cinemas now.
