Both "Birth of A Nation" and "Dirty Harry" were highly controversial films when they came. Both are even more controversial now. But not soon after each of those films came out, the filmmakers sought to deflect some of the criticism by making a follow-up film to "clarify", if not totally dismiss, the message and narrative of the preceding film.

What other films do you know of that seem like a filmmaker or studio sought to quell the controversy of a preceding film? The only case I can immediately think of is "The Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker". But I'm more interested in cases of social subject matter controversy, rather than plot controversy.
