Isn't it a little late to make another World War sequel? (literature.cafe)

Come on, producers, the events of the second one very logically followed the events of the first one, it was a very fitting sequel, but the story has run its course now. Especially after 80 years, it's kind of late to pick the story back up again. I know you want a trilogy, trilogies feel more complete, but the time for it has passed.

Capital is afraid of uncertainty so new IPs tend to be avoided, but if you take an oldie and give it a new fresh twist then they're all in!

It's not a sequel, it's a reboot. They decided to skip most of WWI (which everyone agrees was really boring and mostly just set up for WWII), and they swapped in Americans for the Germans to appeal to a wider audience.
