Korekado said the Metal Gear universe has plenty of characters and angles to
explore in potential sequels, not just for Rising but with the series in general.
This seems to suggest that Paramount is sticking with the small handful of characters who actually worked in the original film — one of whom has plastic lips that don't move — and vetoing the likes of Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans, Dennis Quaid, and even Joseph Gordon - Levitt who was clearly set up as the villain Cobra
Commander in a potential sequel.
The fact that Sinestro hasn't yet begun his descent into villainy in this movie provided Strong a particular challenge, and he explained how he balanced out Sinestro's role in this particular story versus where he's
headed in potential sequels:
ARMS is a welcome addition to Nintendo's excellent stable of first - party IPs, I just hope to see it fleshed out a bit
more in potential sequels.
The reason Tree's day kept resetting was never explained - though it will be
in a potential sequel.
There are some scenes between the two that are charming and endearing, but hopefully we can learn more about these two
in a potential sequel.
