The only thing I could think of is Max somehow becomes a target of the people Vincent worked for. But idk why they’d wait 15 years to deal with him if he was that problematic of a loose end.

That's my thinking, if this is taking place more or less a decade or more after the events, it shouldn't take that long.

The lawyer would surely have cleared his name and so he wouldnt be mistakenly connected to Vincent still in anyway. I'll be super curious as to what the story could be that makes it work for a sequel. I could understand a prequel, since now Cruise actually looks more the part of a seasoned hitman.

I think that idea would work if it was Javier Bardem's character finally getting out of prison and wants revenge. Since Jada Pinkett Smith doesn't die and Jamie Foxx is a witness / knows about the contract, there's a good chance that he ended up going to jail.

I guess the twist on the old formula would be that they kidnap Jada Pinkett Smith and force Jamie Foxx to carry out assassinations in one night.

Edit: also they probably still don’t know that he isn’t actually Vincent. Vincent is a “ghost” and no one would know about his death, especially with the whole “no one noticed a corpse on the train” bit.
