Not only does Armie Hammer think that leaving time between the first and second movies makes sense from a story telling perspective, but also from an audience appreciation one, with the actor concerned that rushing into a sequel will not only diminish Call Me by Your Name, but stop the follow-up from living up to such high expectations.
Should the Call Me by Your Name sequel stick to using these elements of Find Me, then Hammer’s desire to leave more time between movies is clearly the right approach.
