Plans for another Candyman film initially began in the early 2000s, with original film director Bernard Rose wanting to make a prequel film about Candyman and Helen's love. However, the studio turned it down and the project entered development hell. By 2018, Peele signed on as producer for a new film using his company, Monkeypaw Productions and later, in November that same year, it was confirmed that Peele would produce the film with Universal Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and partnered with Rosenfeld to co-produce the film while DaCosta signed on as director. Principal photography for the film began in August 2019 and wrapped in September 2019 in Chicago, Illinois. In a 2018 interview with Nightmare on Film Street, Todd stated, "I'd rather have him do it, someone with intelligence who's going to be thoughtful and dig into the whole racial makeup of who the Candyman is and why he existed in the first place." The film follows Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), a visual artist attempting to make his mark who learns of the Candyman legend and visits Cabrini-Green. He returns full of inspiration, but discovers that he may have brought the legend back to life. The film co-stars Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, and Colman Domingo, while Vanessa Williams, Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen reprise their roles from the original film. Is this a worthy horror movie sequel or yet another bad attempt to cash in on a popular IP? Tune in to find out!
