The Crow 2024: Is a Sequel Possible?

Warning – The following article contains spoilers for the new “The Crow” as it discusses its ending. Please continue if you haven’t seen it yet.

It took him a while. It’s exactly sixteen years between the first time this reboot was mentioned in 2008 and its release in our theaters this Wednesday, August 21st. With changes in directors and actors, the project even took on the air of a Hollywood sea serpent before finally coming to fruition, with Rupert Sanders behind the camera and Bill Skarsgård in front.

It is therefore the fifth feature film inspired by James O’Barry’s comic books, each opus having had the distinction of having a different director and lead actor. which adheres to the original material, which has no sequel. Will this new movie change that? As of now, there are no official plans for a sequel, but the story leaves a small door open.

If he signed a contract that includes options for him to return, Bill Skarsgård can also pass if production offers him to return with Eric Draven’s make-up.

After that, it will be necessary to find him who will become after him. Although he himself pursued the late Brandon Lee, Vincent Perez, Eric Mabus and Edward Furlong. See you in less than 16 years?
