Following a remarkably impressive opening weekend and strong word of mouth, people around America clearly endorsed the idea of Twisters — even if there was no kissThe movie, which is a sequel to the 1996 blockbuster Twister and follows a group of storm-chasers braving the tornadoes of Oklahoma, earned more than $80 million during its opening weekend and proved to be a remarkably good idea for a legacy sequel.

Now, following the success of this sequel, some are wondering whether we might be in for more Twisters sometime soon. Just because it took more than two decades to get one sequel to Twister doesn’t necessarily mean we have to wait that long for the next installment. Here’s what we know about whether we’ll be getting a Twisters 2.

Will there be a Twisters 2?

Daisy Edgar-Jones, who stars as Kate in the sequel, said that she was “not sure” about doing a sequel. “They’d have to keep adding s’s to the end of the word Twister,” she joked to Yahoo! Entertainment.

Her co-star Glen Powell was a little more definitive but said the decision is really out of his hands. “That’s really up to the audience with a movie like this,” he said. “If the audience proves there’s a hunger there, then we have an amazing team of people that will always figure out how to make another story.”

Given the movie’s amazing opening weekend, it certainly seems like there may be a hunger for more. Powell, in particular, has proven himself to be a pretty bankable star, so it’s possible that Warner Bros. would be interested in being in the Powell business. In fact, Powell would likely have to be involved for a sequel to be a go, and given how in-demand he is at the moment, that’s far from guaranteed.

Shrinking is getting a major new addition to its third season. Deadline broke the news last week that Michael J. Fox would be joining the cast of the show's third season, marking a return to acting for the actor. Fox's casting on the show also marks a reunion with show creator Bill Lawrence, after the two first worked together on Spin City decades ago.

Although the details of Fox's role have not been reported, it seems likely that his casting will be related to Harrison Ford's Paul Rhoades, who revealed at the end of the show's first season that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's. Fox has been living with the disease for decades, and had largely stepped away from acting in part because of the nature of his symptoms.

Get in your bunkers: The best survival movies to stream now
Survival movies remain one of the most harrowing film genres.

Hollywood is filled with genres and subgenres, and many of them have conventions that are entirely their own. Survival movies are, among other things, some of the more harrowing films made in America. These movies are about people who are trying only to stay alive after meeting some sort of disaster that may or may not be their fault.

Survival movies have risen all the way to the top of the Oscars, but they're also some of my favorite movies to watch. They push people to their extremes, and the tension of the story is almost always built-in.
