After 35 years, will one of the scariest creatures of the 80s get a new sequel?

Chucky, the evil killer puppet, is coming back to the movies soon! After the series and the 2019 remake, the saga continues to captivate viewers! guest The Scream Dreams PodcastBarbara Crampton host creator Don Mancini confirmed the good news.

Return of the evil doll!

The latter said that the project has been started “Early stages of development.” Apparently, still according to Don Mancini, this new film will tie into the series, which was renewed last January for a third season.

As a reminder, the Chucky franchise (the original version of Child’s Play) was created in 1988 by Don Mancini. The 1989 feature film Child’s Play, released in French cinemas, features a doll possessed by the spirit of a serial killer.

The latter, given to a six-year-old boy, attacked his family with violence and cruelty. The iconic horror saga would see the light of day, consisting of six other installments, the latest of which, The Return of Chucky, was released on VOD last September. In 2019, Child’s Play: The Evil Doll, a remake of the original episode, was released in theaters.

A disappointing remake?

Directed by Lars Kleveberg, the film was a mixed success, grossing $44 million on a $10 million budget. Don Mancini was not involved in this project. This time, it looks like the Creator has regained control of his child… or rather, his evil doll! And he’s in good hands for his return to cinema!

No release date has been announced at this time. We’ll have to wait until we see the creepy doll on the big screen again. Will Brad Dourif, the original voice of Chuck, still voice the doll? Answer me soon!

Note that in the 2019 remake, it was Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) who voiced him. The latter is used for the voices of crazy characters; In fact, he was the one who voiced the Joker from the 90s Batman animated series.
