Leonardo DiCaprio on Why He Has Never Starred in a Sequel
In an interview with Variety for their cover story on The Revenant, DiCaprio discussed why he hasn't been at the head of any major franchises (despite in the past being sought after for roles such as Spider-Man, Robin and Anakin Skywalker).
"To me, every movie that I've done has been its own piece of individual art," DiCaprio said. "That's not to say I wouldn't do something that has sequels. Some of the greatest movies in the world - The Godfather - have had sequels.
"The Godfather 2 is fantastic. You read a script, it's got a beginning and an end. It's hard to envision that being resurrected again. It just hasn't happened.
Director Inarritu quipped to him, "we're planning The Revenant 2 (to DiCaprio rolling his eyes), that would be funny. Pre-production starts tomorrow".
