The 36-year-old Aussie actor has posted a video message from his home thanking everyone for their support of the film and discussed potential of a follow-up: “There has been a lot of talk about sequels and prequels and all sorts of things and all I can say is who knows, but with this kind of support it is something I will be pretty stoked to jump back into.”
