Granted, Jesse Williams can also say he’d be interested in taking on a Grey’s Anatomy spinoff in which Jackson Avery is now a giant mecha-kaiju solving mysteries for a magical warlord from space, and it wouldn’t mean that project is actually happening.
Or at least not in the near-future.
In fact, there’s room to believe that Williams could be so candidly interested in the idea of a Japril spinoff precisely because he knows how slim the chances are that such spinoff plans will ever come to fruition.
It would make a lot of sense for the actor to be more open to talking about his character’s potential future only if he was certain such a plan would never come together.
