Overview

• Cregger says discussions with Warner Bros. and New Line are active and that he has the prequel’s story, though no script is written.
• He indicates the project would expand backstory material he cut from Weapons that was once planned as an Aunt Gladys chapter.
• Cregger cites The Serpent and the Rainbow and the Mekons’ song “Dancing in the Head” as inspirations for the character’s magic without using their specific steps.
• Aunt Gladys was intentionally kept out of the marketing, which heightened the character’s surprise for audiences.
• Weapons is available digitally now, with a 4K UHD release set for October 14, and Cregger is also preparing a Resident Evil film dated for September 18, 2026.
