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.”

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.
