Overview

• Cregger told Fangoria the prequel is real, he has a story, and he has been in talks with Warner Bros.
• The planned film centers on Aunt Gladys and would build out material Cregger removed from the original script.
• Cregger has suggested Amy Madigan could return as Gladys, though no deals or production timetable have been announced.
• He cited The Serpent and the Rainbow and the Mekons’ “Dancing in the Head” as inspirations for the character’s occult mechanics without copying specific steps.
• With a Resident Evil feature slated for 2026, timing for the prequel remains uncertain despite Weapons’ roughly $263 million worldwide gross.
