Editing Stargate (film) (section)

===Cancelled film sequels===
Devlin and Emmerich always envisioned ''Stargate'' as the first part of a [[trilogy]] of films, but Parts 2 and 3 were never developed.<ref name="newstargatefilmfromorg"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.slashfilm.com/825646/stargate-was-meant-to-kick-off-an-entire-trilogy/ |title=Stargate Was Meant To Kick Off An Entire Trilogy|first=Collier|last=Jennings|website=Slash Film|date=April 7, 2022|access-date=April 26, 2022}}</ref> At Comic-Con 2006, twelve years after the original film was released, Devlin stated that he was in early discussions with rights-holders MGM about finally bringing the final two parts to the screen.<ref name="aintitcool">{{cite web|first=Eric|last=Vespe|url=http://legacy.aintitcool.com/node/24247|title=Quint chats with producer Dean Devlin about ''Flyboys'', ''Isobar'', ''Ghosting'' and the ''Stargate'' sequels|website=[[Ain't It Cool News]]|date=August 22, 2006|access-date=September 30, 2010}}</ref>

According to Devlin, the second film is intended to be set around twelve years after the original, with Jackson making a discovery that leads him back to Earth and to the uncovering of a new Stargate. The second entry would supposedly use a different mythology from the Egyptian one which formed the background to the original film, with the third installment tying these together to reveal that "all mythologies are actually tied together with a common thread that we haven't recognized before."<ref name="comingsoon200706">{{cite news |url=https://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=15537 |title=Devlin Announces Plans for Stargate Sequels |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090616234819/http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=15537 |archivedate=June 16, 2009 |date=July 20, 2006 |website=ComingSoon.net }}</ref> Devlin stated that he hoped to enlist original stars Kurt Russell (Col. Jack O'Neil) and James Spader (Dr. Daniel Jackson) for the sequels. The actors reportedly expressed an interest in participating in the project.<ref name="ignrusselspader">{{cite web |title=Comic-Con 2006: Devlin on Stargate Sequels |url=http://movies.ign.com/articles/720/720070p1.html |website=[[IGN]] |publisher=[[Ziff Davis]] |access-date=April 3, 2009}}</ref>

The film trilogy would not directly tie into the series ''Stargate SG-1''. According to Devlin, the relationship between the movie and the series is "we would just continue the mythology of the movie and finish that out. I think the series could still live on at the end of the third sequel. So we're going to try to not tread on their stories."<ref name="comingsoon200706" /> Plans for sequels to the original film are unrelated to the development of [[Direct-to-video|straight-to-DVD]] films made as sequels to ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. According to Devlin, he and Emmerich had always planned to do three films with the potential for more, but MGM preferred to play out the television series first.<ref name="scificool">{{cite web |url=http://www.scificool.com/dean-devlin-talks-possible-stargate-and-independence-day-sequels/ |title=Dean Devlin Talks Possible Stargate and Independence Day Sequels |website=Sci-Ficool.com |access-date=April 3, 2009 |archive-date=October 4, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004202026/http://www.scificool.com/dean-devlin-talks-possible-stargate-and-independence-day-sequels/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
