Now for the usual question that comes after most movies that come from big studios nowadays: Does the film have franchise potential? Currently, there have been no announcements made that a sequel for "Gran Turismo" has gone into development and frankly, there probably won't be one. Given that the film is based on the real-life story of Jann Mardenborough rather than an original story set within the world of the games, there aren't many ways for a sequel to "Gran Turismo" to happen. A sequel could potentially continue to focus on Mardenborough's career and depict a different chapter in his life. Or maybe a sequel could focus on another winner from GT Academy, as there were multiple seasons and some competitors — like Nicolas Hammann and Mark Shulzhitskiy — could have interesting stories to tell.

There's also a chance that a follow-up film could potentially just tell a completely original story and maybe crossover with Jann at some point. However, with the first film being based on a real story, it would probably be smarter to just continue that trend. Plus, "Gran Turismo" being a biopic is actually what makes it unique compared to other video game movies. So an original story likely isn't in the cards either. If the film does well at the box office, maybe Sony and PlayStation will want to do more. For now, though, fans shouldn't expect another "Gran Turismo" film any time soon.
