![]() There's nothing left unresolved by the end that a sequel would need to clear up. While the ending of The Protégé is certainly ambiguous, it's not exactly a cliffhanger. Alternatively, a sequel could see Anna's fear come to pass, and the one loose end she left untied coming back to try and take her down. They could end up working together in a sequel, the two clearly are in similar lines of work. Because Anna and Rembrandt were on opposite sides here, but also have a blooming relationship, if the two were to cross paths again in a future movie, things could go anywhere. If a sequel were to happen it could either include Michael Keaton or not, depending on whether or not he was willing to return and depending on just what sort of story was put together for the follow up. ![]() The ambiguous fate is certainly intentional. Alternatively, it's possible that Anna did shoot Rembrandt, but that she did so non-fatally, allowing her to get away, but leaving him alive. The two were building a personal relationship, even ending a fight scene to have sex, so it's possible that each cares for the other enough that they didn't want to kill each other. Perhaps they both fired their guns, and both missed intentionally. The implication is that she killed him, but we never see a body so the possibility that he could have survived exists. We know that there was a gunshot, and that Anna walked away, but the fate of Michael Keaton's character is left a lot more vague, almost certainly by design. The potentially more interesting question is what may have happened to Rembrandt, and how that could factor in to any potential sequel. There's plenty of opportunity to tell more stories with this character if the audience is there for it. We see a single shadow move down the hall and a moment later Anna emerges from the building, alone.Ĭertainly, the one thing we know for sure is that Maggie Q's Anna survived The Protégé, and there's no reason to believe that she's going to leave her current life behind. The audience POV shifts to outside the building and we see a flash and hear a gunshot. Rembrandt tries to talk her down, to convince her she could just walk away, but he also never lowers his gun. He's the only person alive who knows what she's done. Even though the two have a personal relationship, she knows that she'll always be looking over her shoulder if he lives. Anna says she can't leave Rembrandt alive. The two stare each other down at gunpoint. But when she found an opportunity, she coldly shot all of them to death, which is when she was found by Moody.Īt this point, Rembrandt appears as he has tracked Anna to the building. She witnessed the death of her entire family firsthand and was taken prisoner by those that committed the violent act. Here we're finally shown what happened to Anna as a child. But if it does happen, who might appear in them will likely have more to do with how this movie actually ends, so let's dive into the ending of The Protégé and talk about what happens and what it could mean for the future of this potential franchise.Īnna makes her way, to an abandoned building the same one where Moody found her as a child, surrounded by several dead bodies. ![]() Well, whether or not The Protégé gets sequels will be determined by box office receipts more than anything. Jackson and Michael Keaton all be back for countless sequels? ![]() So is The Protégé the first movie in an ongoing franchise? There are many factors that will help determine that, but one of them, of course, is The Protégé ending. While it feels like we rarely see new action movies anymore, there was once a time when John Wick was a brand new idea, and that movie has now spawned several sequels, with at least a couple more to come. Jackson, take down bad guys for money, but when one of those bad guys comes after them, Maggie Q's Anna goes on a quest to hunt them and take them down. She and her partner/father figure, played by Samuel L. This weekend sees the release of The Protégé, a brand new action movie starring Maggie Q as a professional killer. ![]()
