It received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences, who praised Calle's performance and chemistry with Rubio and Anderson, Trevorrow's direction, the action sequences, visuals, and score. A sequel is in production with Calle, Rubio, Anderson and Abdul-Mateen set to return and Snyder set to replace Trevorrow as the director.
