Though careful not to share too much about what's to come from the character's return, he did tease it will be "in a surprising way" and hinted at a bigger future for Murphy in the planned trilogy ahead.

Yes, but in a surprising way and in a way that grows, let me put it that way. This is Danny at his best, combined with a very commercial genre, like we had with Edgar Wright and Baby Driver.
