Will The Iron Giant ever get a sequel? According to a 2018 X post by Brad Bird, the film’s director, there are no plans to bring the iconic characters back to the big screen.

Comic book movies have only become more popular since The Iron Giant was released, but the superhero genre has forgotten the film's boldest and purest idea.

Brad Bird's 'The Iron Giant' was a box office flop, but its steady rise to cult classic proves its Spielberg ambitions were always there.
