Mamoru Oshii confirmed that he is still interested in making a third Ghost in the Shell film during a Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence 20th Anniversary talk event on March 1.

The talk event took place at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku in Tokyo. Oshii appeared on stage with Akio Ōtsuka, voice of Ghost in the Shell's Batou. According to Comic Natalie, the two spoke a bit on the screening, played a true-or-false quiz, and spoke about their memories of Atsuko Tanaka, the late voice actress of Ghost in the Shell's Motoko Kusanagi.
