Dan Stevens has provided a disappointing update regarding the potential for a sequel to The Guest.
The 2014 film saw Stevens play David Collins, a US soldier who pays a visit to the Peterson family, who are left reeling following the death of their son Caleb in the war.
After introducing himself as a friend of their late son, the daughter in the family (Maika Monroe) begins to suspect that David isn't telling the whole truth, with a series of nearby deaths coinciding with his arrival.

Despite only grossing $2.7 million worldwide against a budget of $5 million, the potential for a sequel grew as Stevens reunited with director Adam Wingard for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, but the star said he is unsure if a follow-up will ever materialise.
"I don't know is the real answer," he told The Hollywood Reporter when asked about a potential sequel. "There are so many other projects that we are talking about collaborating on as well, and The Guest II might be among them, but I could neither confirm nor deny at this stage.
"David was a great, great character, and I was very, very lucky to get to work on that. But Trapper [his character in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire] is an equally great character that might have some more mileage in him, and I'd love to see further life in him, so we'll see."

Stevens and Wingard's latest collaboration serves as a sequel to Godzilla vs Kong, with the plot following the titular monsters as they team up to face a new menace from Hollow Earth, who threatens both the animal and human world.
In an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, Stevens commented on his reunion with Wingard, saying: "That was one of the delightful things really - Adam and I have been friends since The Guest. We hung out a lot, talked about all sorts of different things in the meantime, then this one came along."
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is in cinemas from March 29.
