| - Brandywine Productions was interested in a follow-up to Omega as soon as its 2015 release, but the new management at Warner Bros. postponed those plans until 2016. That year Brandywine picked Cuarón to write after reading his script for Hellboy 3 and Pacific Rim 2, and once that film became a hit in 2015, Warner greenlit Omegas, that would also be directed by Cuarón, with a budget of approximately $18 million. The script was written with a war film tone strongly influenced by the Iraq War and World War II to contrast the horror motifs of the original Omega. It was filmed in England at Pinewood Studios and at a decommissioned power plant in Acton, London.

It was filmed in England at Pinewood Studios and at a decommissioned power plant in Acton, London. Omega was a critical and commercial success, with positive reviews that considered it an entertaining film that despite the tonal shift still served as a worthy sequel to Omega, and grossed $180 million worldwide. The movie was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including a Best Actress for Emma Watson and Best Supporting Actor to Radcliffe, winning both Sound Effects Editing and Visual Effects. It won eight Saturn Awards, including Best Science Fiction Film, Best Actress for Watson, Best Actor to Cheadle and Best Direction and Best Writing for Cuarón. Omegas is frequently considered one of the best action films ever released. It was followed by a sequel, Omega III.
