The director has since gone back to making short films with his production company Oats Studios, with no plans for District 10 in the near future.
Blomkamp has claimed to have an idea for a proper sequel, but in 2015 he voiced that he had just wrapped a thematic trilogy that began with District 9, was followed by Elysium, and ended with Chappie, prompting him to pursue projects outside of that world, such as the ill-fated plans for a retcon of the Alien franchise.
South African director Neill Blomkamp hit the ground running with his Academy Award-nominated feature-length debut, District 9, imagining a world in which extraterrestrial immigrants live on Earth in segregation from human beings, but anyone hoping to see (SPOILER ALERT) Prawn Christopher Johnson (Jason Cope) return to help reverse Wikus Van De Merwe’s (Sharlto Copley) alien mutation might have to wait a bit longer, or forever.
