Guadagnino reunites withTimothée Chalametfor the new filmBones and All, and in anewVarietycover story, the director addressed whether a sequel to the 2017 romance could still come to fruition.
Said Guadagnino, “I would love to make a second and third and fourth chapter of all my movies. Why? Because I truly love the actors I work with, so I want to repeat the joy of doing what we did together.”

Back in March 2019, Hammer said there were “really loose conversations"about a sequel but it felt unlikely. He toldVultureat the time, “I’m sort of coming around to the idea that the first one was so special for everyone who made it, and so many people who watched it felt like it really touched them or spoke to them. And it felt like a really perfect storm of so many things, that if we do make a second one, I think we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment. I don’t know that anything will match up to the first, you know?”
In July 2020, Elizabeth Chambersfiled for divorcefrom Hammer, citing irreconcilable differences. Months later, Hammer became embroiled in controversy after messages allegedly from the actor detailing violent sexual fantasies were leaked online. He was lateraccused of rape, which he denied.

A lawyer for Hammer, Andrew Brettler, previously said in a statement toVanity Fair: “All interactions between Mr. Hammer and his former partners were consensual. They were fully discussed, agreed upon in advance with his partners and mutually participatory. The stories perpetuated on social media were designed to be salacious in an effort to harm Mr. Hammer, but that does not make them true.”
Chambers, 40,told E! Newsin September, “I consider myself a feminist and stand in solidarity with anyone who has been a victim of any sort and hope they find healing. I’m not being here, like, ‘My life is amazing,‘because it’s been hell for a long time.”
