The people making sequels only want to accomplish that. That’s the whole point of sequels and franchises.
Nobody in charge is thinking: “gosh that’s an important or interesting story that has some more depth in it. We should explore that concept in a new way”
It’s always: “that movie sold enough to justify risking money on producing another product that sells just as much”
