Speaking to Collider, Alex Garland talked about the possibilities of a Dredd 2:
Flash Gordon is a fan favorite film and, if we’re to believe the star of the film, a sequel could happen. Sam Jones said the following to Den of Geek:

Director Judd Apatow spoke to Cinemablend at SXSW and revealed he wanted to make a sequel to one of the big hits he produced: Superbad. Unfortunately, he was all by himself in this:
The Jurassic World Twitter put up the below image of BD Wong, the only returning actor and character from the original film.
I always wanted to do a sequel to Superbad, but I couldn’t convince anybody… The actors, no one with Superbad thought we should do another Superbad. But I wanted to do Superbad in college desperately, but no one would listen to me.
