I think he was bored of it by that point. He had two short films, two straight-to-video films, two theatrical releases, and two remakes that kinda went in their own direction. By that point, he was in a position to try other things, and as long as the franchise continues, he gets paid. I'm sure he thinks its best days are long gone too.
