The film also spills many secrets about their past and their immortality. We also get to see other immortals who were a part of the group before but died. Talking about the final scene where one of the immortals returns, Gina added, " It was part of the graphic novel, and I always loved it because I felt there would have been a hole, if it didn't end the way it did. There's always a fear because you don't want to annoy an audience. I know how I feel when things are left open, but for me, we told the story. It does have a beginning, middle, and end. And then, there is a hint and a possibility of more, but that's absolutely up to the audience. Greg has always envisioned this as a trilogy. I know where the story is going and it's pretty dope. So, if the audience wants more, there's certainly more story to tell."
