Just like any movie franchise Hollywood is trying to kick off before the first movie is even out. They need to to wait and see if people actually want more before they plan so far ahead...
Marvel was smart with their Cinematic universe, but too many people are forcing their way to kick starting a franchise.
They should stick to that one idea I remember reading somewhere, where they are thinking of making a joint Universe for many of the video games... Just Cause, Hitman, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and Thief are all planned to be in the same movie universe... Could you imagine Lara Croft teaming up with Agent 47 and Rico Rodriguez? I could see it happen...
Although, Thief takes place in the past, and Deus Ex takes place in the Future, so I doubt Garrett and Adam Jensen/JC Denton could show up... And no offence to Thief, but I'd rather see a Dishonored movie... And maybe a new Far Cry movie reboot that stays far away from Uwe Boll.

It happens all the time in today's cinema. It happened in Batman v Superman, where literally HALF of the movie spent on setting up the Justice League movie franchise before it even begun.
Cross game shared universe is a neat idea. Of couse past and future characters can be made to show up... by using the second most versatile film trope ever: Time Travel!
Lol @ Uwe Boll. At least get Paul W.S. Anderson. He understands gamers and knows a thing or two about making a succesful videogame movie franchise.
