The Iron Giant and Bloodshot

We have no confirmation eric could show up in a sequel and it wouldn't be contradictory. bloodshot looks up at eric and eric's like oh no bloodshot yeah but then we never see him again. I don't get the impression that he knows who eric is or cares well i just saw vindeza would be ready to just go ham on everyone in this facilityWell if anything you're all part of thisYou wanted some sort of like growth that would be character he would actively not kill eric for that reason right? "I was going to say that would be keeping with his character"
