Netflix's Norwegian monster movie 'Troll 2' has been released, following the original 2022 film which amassed 103 million views and became the platform's most-watched non-English language film. Director Roar Uthaug has hinted at a potential third instalment, stating that ideas have started to form in his mind and that there are no limits to how big the 'Trollverse' can get.
The sequel has received mixed reviews, with some critics calling it a lacklustre follow-up. However, many fans have given it perfect 10/10 ratings on IMDb, praising the return of characters, expanded lore, and special effects. One reviewer expressed excitement for a third movie.
Uthaug told techradar that while nothing is concrete, he is considering the franchise's future. He also mentioned the inclusion of Easter eggs and references to other monster movies like Godzilla and King Kong, suggesting that the trolls could take on any monster.
The original film, released in 2022, earned an 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and followed a group trying to stop an ancient troll awakened in a Norwegian mountain. The post-credit scene in 'Troll 2' hints at a possible third film, showing a preserved troll specimen and suggesting that the peaceful coexistence between trolls and humans may be threatened.
No official announcement or release date for a third film has been made, but the creative team appears open to the idea, leaving the narrative open-ended.
