On the film's negative reception, Harbour felt the film was unfairly compared to Marvel films and reflected, "We did our best, but there's so many voices that go into these things and they're not always going to work out. I did what I could do and I feel proud of what I did, but ultimately I'm not in control of a lot of those things." Harbour also expressed his doubts whether a sequel would be produced, stating, "I don't think the perception was that it was a hit, and so in that way, I don't know that the risk is worth it." Harbour later stated he thought the film failed due to fans of the del Toro films prematurely dismissing a reboot that did not involve del Toro or Perlman.
