2018 saw the arrival of the sequel to Sicario, titled Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Despite its predecessor’s high regard, this follow-up received a modest response and didn’t perform financially as expected.

While the concept initially revolved around tracing Gibbs’ life post his family’s demise, NCIS: Origins has impressively evolved to present the histories behind each member of Gibbs’ team.
In the final scene after the credits of “Weak Hero Class 2”, Choi encounters Seong-je. Instead of accepting his offer to take over from Baek-jin as Union leader, Seong-je refuses unexpectedly.
