So the answer is, yes, there was never any intent to have Brendan in this movie,” Peyton explains. Were there discussions about Brendan coming back? “It was always known that this film was a different adventure. “Not to denigrate the first movie but this is a better and more creative team and we’re going to have a much larger scale film.” Peyton’s also keen to point out the massive increase in scale compared to the first film, from the scope of the production, to the sets being assembled and the crew that has been hired.
