Given the timing it does seem unlikely we get a third movie. 2017 was
the year of the first movie and 2019 the second was released. We are
now five years past the second movie so a third seems unlikely. It's a
problem with many of the ideas that people base movies/shows on. The
actual actors have this habit of getting older which goes against the
idea the movie was based on.
