>Following his breakout role as Black Manta in James Wan's "Aquaman", Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has landed the coveted lead role in the Jordan Peele-produced CANDYMAN reboot helmed by Nia DaCosta.
>Described as a ''spiritual sequel'' to the 1992 original and set 28 years after its events, the movie follows Anthony (Lakeith Stanfield), an artist living in the now-gentrified Cabrini-Green Housing Project who rediscovers the legend of Candyman and begins researching it, unwittingly awakening the vengeful spirit,
>Eagle-eyed fans quickly noted that Anthony is the name of the child that is kidnapped by Candyman as a ploy to lure his reincarnated lover Helen into damnation with him in the original movie, but whether Stanfield is playing a grown-up version of the same character remains to be seen.
>Although Abdul-Mateen will be wielding the hook, original Candyman actor Tony Todd is expected to have a supporting role in the film, which is set for release on June 12, 2020.
Nigga carried three movies and he made that character, now they want to push him to the side, what a disgrace
Carson Gutierrez
Reminds me of Clock Tower.
Owen Turner
they think having FROM THE DARK MIND OF GET OUT AND US will be enough. Worse part is, they are already fucking this movie up, and the small cult following will probably dislike it either way for already messing up the main casting.
Eli Turner
what will they make the film about this time?
Xavier Taylor
pretty good choice
Blake Stewart
something similar but they'll fuck up the racial element of the original flick, disregard the folklore theme and take away any of the eeriness in favour of overt jumpy horror
Adrian Ortiz
so a Get Out sequel?
Cameron Foster
>black superhero >be called "black ______"
Luis Howard
black journalist, trailerpark instead of ghetto
Matthew Clark
how can they market a blacked scene if there is no interracial romance between the misunderstood demon and black female journalist?
Carter White
The synopsis is literally right there on the OP.

>sat with normies watching candyman >shout candyman 3 times >they piss their pants "STOP!!"
Jayden Cruz
Why?
Michael Parker
Why would they cast Candyman as black in the current year, is it because they're racist against Arabs or Pacific Islanders?
Christopher Anderson
SURE MAKE HIM WHITE AND A BUNCH OF BLACK HILLBILLIES KILL HIM
