He said: ‘If Part 1 is about choices, Part 2 is about consequences.
‘Choices are difficult to make, but when you do make those choices, sometimes the result isn’t what you expect it to be. It can be lonely, it can be hard.’
Jon continued: ‘There’s a lot of soul searching in movie 2. They’re asking, “Is this the right decision that you made?”‘
He added: ‘There is lots of lightness in the movie. There’s a lot of fun parts.
‘We’ve not forgotten about that, but there’s a matureness and a nuance to it that we earn from the first movie. The second movie really gets to play with [that maturity].’
