I was so disappointed after spending like 12 hours watching this film to it ending without telling the complete story. Never mind the Part 1 title card at the beginning. I just assumed they were going to expand upon the story not cut it into pieces. Then to find out that they didn't already green light the rest of the story being made. WTF? Who does this in today's movie universe? We get the full story approved to make or we take it to another studio. Right Mr. Jackson?

There's a period of several years between where the first film left the story, and the final conclusion. They may be quite happy for Tim and Zendy to put on a couple of years between making instalments.

I fully expect it's greenlit, but not publicly so.

They'll openly greenlight it when theater attendance drops off, after a couple of weeks, and ride the extra publicity.

This comment was remarkably prescient.

Great, so a minimum of 2 years before we get the rest of the story. At least it's not GRRMartin time spans.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I was already aware of the fact that it was both half a film, and that the second part wasn't green-lit yet. Despite of this, the film completely lived up to to my expectations.

That's part of the problem. It wasn't a disaster, so I'm actually interested. Admittedly, it's a personal problem.

Disney. marvel. it's not new.

at the rate of Marvel movies, I think someone farts an idea and it gets greenlit. not telling me much here /s
