- A dark sequel imagines adult Josh meeting a child from the relationship and using Zoltar again to recover time, with Looper-like paradoxes and Bigger or Chip Off the Old Big Block title jokes.
- A prequel where Billy was already an adult is joked about; the remake category favors a sequel titled Bigger, including the earlier secret-child possibility.
- A sequel with Susan becoming thirteen is divisive: a soulmate-and-shared-aging defense meets objections that changing her life to pursue a child is disturbing; Benjamin Button is a comparison rather than justification.
- Another Bigger pitch is a tragedy about adult Josh failing to recapture his childhood corporate success, with an imagined bankrupt McMillan and the problem of eventually resembling his vanished adult self.
- Big: The Hunt for Josh is proposed as a separate father-search story in the mode of Hardcore, potentially involving Wayne Jenkins.
