Will there be a sequel to "Ex Machina"? - Brown Wooden Blocks on White Table

I found "Ex Machina" to be well done AND intriguing. What will the robot do now that she is loose in human society? Which will develop quickest her sense of survival, a new sense of compassion, will she ever deal with a sense of fair play and how about a need to be among her own kind.

So! Will there be a sequel to deal with these questions?



Best Answer

According to the director, Alex Garland, the answer would be: no

β€œI imagined it as a completely self-contained story and I still feel that way about it,” Garland said. β€œIt has become reflexive for people to imagine this movie was made to set up a sequel and that the plan was built into the structure of the film. But it was not that way, at all.”
