In October 2016, it was reported that an Abrams-produced project, tentatively titled "God Particle", would be the next film set in the "Cloverfield" universe. The sequel was originally announced as a February 2017 release but has since seen its release date pushed back, most recently to a tentative April 2018 date, with the "God Particle" title having been dropped and the film now being referred to as "Untitled Cloverfield Sequel". It has also been suggested that the original plot device of a god particle may have been completely removed from the script. On February 4, 2018, during Super Bowl LII, a TV commercial aired announcing the film would be entitled "The Cloverfield Paradox" and would have a surprise release on Netflix after the game.
