Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
A sequel could build on the film’s streaming audience and give viewers who responded to its story more of what they want. If the studio sees sustained interest, continuing the franchise may also be a sound investment and a way to develop its characters and world further.
The case against
Strong streaming performance alone may not show that a sequel would attract enough viewers or justify its cost. The studio and its partners could reasonably weigh broader audience demand, production risks and other uses of their resources before committing to another film.
