Edgar Wright Considering Baby Driver Sequel

In some ways, a sequel would rectify my problem with the movie's ending, which was all a little too neat and clean for my taste. (Assuming the sequel is Baby's past coming back to haunt him, showing that it isn't so easy for him to escape from it.)
But I would rather see Wright do something else.

I think the movie is fine as-is, but I trust Edgar Wright's judgement. If getting a paycheck is all that mattered, he wouldn't have dropped out of Ant Man. I doubt he'd crank out a sequel to Baby Driver purely for the cash either.

No luck catching them robbers, then?
I mean they won't, but doing a take on Heat with Baby and Angel set in Sansford would be pretty God damn great.

I love watching original movies break out to such success.
Baby Driver is fantastic. I wouldn't change a frame.
I don't need a sequel. Against my better judgment, I would be overjoyed with one, but it's so long as it's not in production, so long as Wright isn't totally committed, I don't want one.
Sony, cut the man a check and let him do another original project.

Faster Baby Driver, Drive, Drive!
I don't want this. I loved the movie, but I don't see the need.

If that's where Edgar Wright's creative impulse takes him, then that makes it a necessary creation for him. Doesn't mean it'll be good of course. I'd definitely see it.
Loved Baby Driver, but I don't really know how I'd feel about a sequel.
I feel like Wright is getting really caught up in the critical praise for the film and in his excitement thinking he should do a sequel, and I hope that isn't a mistake. He's a smart guy though and I trust whatever he ends up doing will be what he wants to do.

yeah fuck it go fill F&F on em
Spoilers, obviously. Only loose ends I can think of:
Spacey's family? The savant-nephew and whoever his parents are. Could maybe see some weird revenge plot where that kid is now in his teens.
Jon Bernthal? The guy from the first crew. He has no particular reason to be antagonistic to Baby, but he's a character that could be included easily.
The asian guy's family, maybe? An outsider wouldn't know that Baby had nothing to do with that death. Speaking of...
The other guy that was in the second crew. He could reappear for similar reasons to Bernthal, and would be involved if they went with that asian connecton.
Any amount of prison stuff as well.

He's had this idea in his head twenty years.
I guarantee you he had ideas for more films starring Baby before he had any idea this'd make box office bank.
My take away from this is that
given the fact he said "If you don't see me again... I'm dead" is that he got whacked.
That said, I hope they don't. The movie works best as a one-off.
it's implied that he's killed by buddy and darling.

It's my favorite film of the year but I feel like the arc was well done and concluded.

This movie doesn't need a sequel. It's fine in it's single entry.
Yes, because Id like to see more movies with such lovely synchronisation to the music.
No, because I find the stories of characters in Edgar Wrights movies always ending with enough told and enough developed. Edgar Wright himself explained it better in one of his interviews.

I'm sure he has entertained the idea already, before Sony approached him.
I remember hearing him say (I think in the Soundtracking podcast for which he was a guest),
Interviewer: "I did hear Ansel say the words, 'when we do the next one...' and it made me really hope there is another one"
Edgar: "well that's up to the audience now, isn't it? So if you want to see a second one, go out and see it"
So I have some faith it's not something he would just cobble out of nothing.
