just watched it again and that whole gauntlet scene was vicious enough for a part 2...
Didn’t the ancient ones end the world at the end of the movie? How do you do a sequel without retconning that?
the end the world could be the end of the world as we know it. so the majority of the world is dead and society is done, and now theres cultists serving up sacrifices again, but something goes wrong
We had some crazy ideas but Joss [Whedon] and I both felt strongly that we didn't want to do it just to do it. Right? I'm very lucky that I get to keep making movies, I don't need to just go make a sequel for the sake of making a sequel. The only way we could do it is if we could do it justice, and the truth is, it's a hard one to do justice to. Every version of continuing the story undercuts the ending that we had in Cabin, and I just feel like that continues to be the perfect ending for that movie and I never want to undercut it.

I've learned, tomorrow, that a bolt of lightning could strike and you could think of an idea that does the first one justice, but I haven't quite had that idea yet, I haven't had the idea yet that makes me go, 'Oh, we have to drop everything and do that now.'
