While he shared that he had a great relationship with Lionsgate, not everyone was agreeing with him over the endings. He told the outlet,

“But you know, ‘Let me try to execute it the way we are. Let me build the story around it and I’ll do you a solid. I’ll tell you what, I’ll shoot the ending two ways, you know, with one extra little thing, two extra little shots. I’ll let you know he’s alive, and I’m gonna leave it up to the audience to decide.”

He revealed that the test audience loved the ending which was released in the fourth installment that gave a response in itself about why the character was killed off in the movie. Without many struggles, the company went ahead with the final ending which was eventually released in theatres.
