If I had a nickel for each 2025 movie that became a surprise hit by mixing supernatural folklore with music, I’d have two nickels. That’s not a lot, but considering those movies are Sinners and KPop Demon Hunters, I’m pleased to have that collective dime to frame. I’m perfectly happy without a sequel to writer/director Ryan Coogler’s genre bending masterpiece, as that story was so tightly told that it doesn’t need a sequel.
KPop, on the other hand, is part of a much larger story directors/co-writers Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans have hyped up through various interviews. As if the Sony Pictures Animation production couldn’t be popular enough, the adventures of Huntr/x have set a new Netflix record so specific, I’m shocked we haven’t heard a sequel announcement.
