Summary:
- James Gunn hasn’t confirmed plans for a Brightburn sequel due to his busy schedule.
- H3 Entertainment hinted at potential plans for Brightburn 2, but no cast or crew details have been confirmed yet.
Don’t expect Brightburn 2 anytime soon.
The 2019 horror film, which envisions a young boy with sinister superhuman abilities, left many fans with lingering questions.
However, when asked about the possibility of a sequel on Threads, James Gunn responded, “No plans at all for this right now.” While Gunn didn’t entirely rule out the idea, his remarks suggest that a follow-up isn’t currently in the works.
With Gunn’s busy schedule, including commitments to projects like The Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, it’s understandable why the Brightburn sequel has taken a back seat for now.
When asked about the status of Brightburn 2 on Threads, Gunn responded simply with: “No plans at all for this right now.”
This update follows H3 Entertainment‘s announcement in September about their plans for Brightburn 2, which include integrating technologies like the Metaverse, Web3, and AI into the sequel as a model for future productions.
However, during the announcement, no original cast or crew members were confirmed for the sequel. Additionally, director David Yarovesky expressed his intentions to expand the Brightburn universe in future films.
In 2009, directed by Yarovesky, Brightburn offered a dark twist on the Superman origin story. The film follows an alien boy named Brandon Breyer (played by Jackson A. Dunn), raised by a farming couple in the small town of Brightburn, Kansas.
As Brandon matures and uncovers his extraordinary powers, his unresolved anger issues propel him down a destructive path, impacting both the town and his family.
Despite receiving mixed reviews, Brightburn proved to be a financial success, grossing $32 million at the box office against a production budget of $6-12 million.
The film starred Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn, Matt Jones, and Meredith Hagner in prominent roles. As of now, Brightburn 2 has not been officially announced.
