Even though Speed Racer doesn’t come out until May, star Matthew Fox is already looking forward to the next installment. At a junket in New York today for his upcoming film Vantage Point, Fox confirmed that when he originally signed up for the film, potential sequels were part of the deal. “I didn’t think twice about it,” he said about agreeing to take part in sequels. “I would love to do more of that world and work with everyone in involved in that project. I’m very excited by the prospect of that. But it’s going to be one at a time, obviously.”

Given that Fox doesn’t talk as explicitly about Speed Racer sequels as his Vantage Point co-star Dennis Quaid talks about future G.I. Joe movies, it seems the studio will wait to see if Speed Racer is a hit before going forward with follow-ups. But this is your chance, Speed Racer fans! Make the movie a hit, and you’ll be guarantee to see Matthew Fox suit up once again as Racer X.

Fox also said that he’s seen parts of the film, and not only is he excited, but his kid is too. “It’s going to be amazing. I can’t wait. My little boy asks me every single day when the movie’s coming out.” He also admitted that the movie’s heavily CGI shoot was a challenge as an actor. “It was like doing it for the first time in a lot of respects. The whole process that they’re doing is very different. The way that the images are layered in, the way things are even shot. Most of the time you’d end up doing a scene and the actors would be removed and you’d end up doing it by yourself.”

Check here later this week for more from Fox about Vantage Point, what music he’s listening to these days, and maybe even a little news about Lost. No, he didn’t tell us who the smoke monster is, but he has some ideas about Jack Shepard’s future that are definitely worth hearing.
