The film debuted in US cinemas earlier this year, receiving a 63 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes, along with Lionsgate confirming a third instalment was in the works.
"I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: I’m trying to Vin Diesel this thing. To quote Ryan Reynolds, I want to work with Gerard until he's 90," Jackson Jr told Variety.
"I have such a family feel with these guys. I know how much I want to do these other films, but we cannot cheapen this beautiful thing that we made. This one took six or seven years to get done. I hope the next one doesn’t. In our heart of hearts, we won’t make it if it’s not right and if it’s not the same thing that made audiences fall in love with the franchise in the first place."
