Black Phone director Scott Derrickson has unveiled his plans for the third sequel.

The second installment came out last month and it turned out to be a critical and commercial success.

Black Phone 2 brought in a clear end for the characters of The Grabber, Finn and Gwen. The director says that certainly can be more, but he also believes that there isn’t a need.

While speaking about another sequel, Scott opened that if he would think of making another entry, it will be only on one condition.

He thinks that, "If there is to be more, there has to be a reason for it.”

"I enjoy franchises. I think I've seen every Halloween movie, and that's a lot. I saw every Elm Street movie. So, part of it is the delight of going back to characters or to iconic villains that you're interested in seeing again", he told Collider. 

The director says that he doesn’t really see a point of making another movie from the franchise.

He added, "So, if there's going to be a Black Phone 3, it would have to be another big pivot. Otherwise, I don't see the point of making it."

Black Phone features Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Miguel More, Jeremy Davies and Madeleine McGraw.
