Twister's director Jan de Bont wasn't consulted for the sequel 

During a recent interview with a media house Jan de Bont, the filmmaker of the classic Twister, has shared that he wasn't consulted during the development of the upcoming sequel, indicating that Lee Isaac Chung's next project might be disconnected from its predecessor.

However, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell are set to lead the cast of the sequel, returning to the Twister world.  Transformers: Rise of the Beasts-fame Anthony Ramos is also set to be a part of the cast. 

Efforts to develop a sequel to Twisters had been going around at Universal and Warner Bros. for quite some time, with Helen Hunt even wanting to write and direct the second instalment herself. 

A couple of years later, it was announced that Lee Isaac Chung would helm the project, and the sequel received a summer release date for next year.  Twisters is scheduled to hit theatres on July 19, 2024.
