For clarification, can we say the series is numbered 1, 2, and 3? (0 if there's a prequel).
I don't think a sequel trope can apply to film 1.

Generally, if a trope example only makes sense in view of the sequel, it would be listed on the sequel's page.
I am wondering... I know that recap pages for TV series have a no-spoilers-tag rule, and a strict "no spoiler for future episodes", which completely make sense.
However, what about the work page for films within a film series? Those are not under a no-spoiler-tag rule, so what about spoilers (even properly tagged) for a sequel, or a trope that only make sense in view of the sequel? Are those acceptable?
