So I'm never going to 100% say no to a sequel, but this is probably the closest you can get.
First off, you need a story to tell. Face Off tells a ridiculous story that is absolutely wild. You can't just "face off" again in the sequel. You'd have to find a way to body swap but in a whole new way, likely one that wouldn't even make sense with the title.
Second, the primary antagonist is dead. So now you need to retcon the ending, which is usually a bad sign.
Third, no clear mention that the original cast is returning. I struggle to find a sequel without the original cast that worked.
Fourth, it's too many years later. You can sometimes make years later sequels work, Blade Runner 2049 comes to mind, maybe a few others, but that list is short.
