A sequel to “Hope,” Na Hong-jin’s alien action epic that rocked Cannes Film Festival on Sunday night, is already in the works.

The Korean auteur revealed the news during a press conference on Monday, saying: “I think you can readily imagine this sequel. And there’s a script that’s already been done that I’d like to shoot. So if I have the opportunity, I would indeed make a sequel if possible.”
