By Filming has begun on a sequel to 2021’s supernatural horror film “The Black Phone”.
Director/co-writer Scott Derrickson returns with fellow co-writer C. Robert Cargill to follow-up the original film which made approximately $161.4 million at the global box office from a $16-18 million budget.
Ethan Hawke will reprise his role as The Grabber in the film as well as Mason Thames as Finney, Madeleine McGraw as Gwen, Jeremy Davies as Terrence, and Miguel Mora as Robin.
Demián Bichir has additionally joined the cast, but plot specifics about the next film remain under wraps.
The first film follows Finney Shaw, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy who is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use.
When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney.
An October 17th 2025 release date is set by Universal Pictures.
