The breakout bone chilling star of the year is getting her big break — a big break that isn’t just the best Halloween costume idea this year. Weapons’s creepy but silly villain, Aunt Gladys (played by Oscar nominated actress Amy Madigan), is getting an origin story movie. Director and writer Zach Cregger confirms that he is in talks with Warner Bros. for a prequel to everyone’s favorite auntie. “It is real and I’ve been talking to Warner Bros. about it. There’s a story and I’m pretty excited about it. It’s not bullshit,” Cregger shared with Fangoria when talking about the home release of Weapons. He also felt “ready” for another installment in the same universe: “I had it kind of in my pocket before the movie came out.”
News of another film, whether a sequel or prequel, has been floating around since mid-August when Weapons became a hit with critics and the box office. There was a part of the film dedicated to Gladys’s origins, but it fell on the cutting room floor, THR reports. Thankfully, it’s being picked up by Warner Brothers for more. Aren’t you Glad’ys in development now?
