>This is also why there couldn’t be a good third movie, there’s nowhere natural to go after action. Rom-Com? Heist movie?

  If someone could figure out the next step, that would be great. So many good series died on their third entry. Heist might make sense. The trajectory could be something like survive -> kick ass -> pulled back in at a disadvantage? Maybe.

    The obvious disadvantage would be that they are now too old to kick ass. But that means you have to wait a decade or two before making the 3rd movie.

      Plus it would require the audience to grapple the idea that people lose some of their capabilities as they age, which might be too uncomfortable. And it seems like it might be a bad idea for the main actor’s career, might get typecast into “aging action star.”
