Stephen Lang, who played Norman Nordstrom, aka the Blind Man, in Don't Breathe and its sequel, offers a hopeful update on the movie series' future. While rumors have circulated about a third movie, Don't Breathe 3 remains unconfirmed. After starring in the 2021 horror action, Lang can be seen in the new thriller, Barron's Cove, alongside Tramell Tillman, Garrett Hedlund, Brittany Snow, and more. He's also expected to reprise his role as the main antagonist, Colonel Miles Quaritch,in the Avatar: Fire and Ash. 6c5s1j

Although 2023’s M3GAN doesn’t seem to have much in common with 2016’s Don’t Breathe, M3GAN 2.0 looks likely to pull off a horror franchise trick that the earlier hit series could not achieve. By the time M3GAN’s ending rolled around, the movie’s titular robot doll was well and truly destroyed. However, you can’t keep a good horror movie villain down, and, sure enough, the original movie’s unexpected success meant that M3GAN 2.0 was soon announced.

Don't Breathestar Stephen Lang expresses his hopes of returning to his chilling role as the Blind Man in a potential third installment. The horror franchise debuted in 2016, introducing audiences to Lang's terrifying Norman Nordstrom, a blind former U.S. Navy SEAL with lethal survival skills. The first film was a surprise hit, earning $157 million worldwide against a $9.9 million budget and receiving praise for its intense, suspenseful narrative. Don't Breathe 2 followed in 2021 and shifted focus by presenting Norman as more of an antihero rather than the outright villain he was in the first film.

From Evil Dead to Alien: Romulus, Fede Álvarez has directed some of the best horror movies of the past decade – but not all of his films have been quite that great. Álvarez first caught Hollywood’s attention when he dropped his short film Ataque de Pánico! on YouTube in 2009. He was quickly recruited by Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures to develop his debut feature, and that debut feature ended up being a remake of Raimi’s own debut feature, The Evil Dead. Álvarez’s 2013 Evil Dead introduced the franchise to a whole new generation of horror fans.

Don't Breathe 2 has become a global Netflix hit. The horror-thriller is a sequel to the 2016 horror hit, which followed a group of thieves breaking into the home of a vengeful blind man (Stephen Lang) with dark secrets. Original co-screenwriter Rodo Sayagues helmed the project, taking over for original director Fede Álvarez, who remained on board as an executive producer. The Don't Breathe 2 cast sees Lang reprising his original role alongside a new ensemble that includes Brendan Sexton III, Madelyn Grace, and Adam Young.

The 2022 horror movie Old Man was marketed in Russia as a prequel to Don't Breathe. The movie stars Stephen Lang as a hermit who takes in a lost hiker, which kicks off a sinister game of cat and mouse. Its only connection to the Don't Breathe franchise is the star, as Lang played a man with blindness who violently defended his Detroit home in the 2016 horror hit. He also reprised the role in 2021's Don't Breathe 2, taking on more of an antihero status.

The Wrap reports that Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Peaky Blinders) is set to star in Colm McCarthy's supernatural thriller Bagman. While there's no official release date for this film, fans of the thriller genre have plenty more to enjoy in the meantime.

Comic artist Brendan McCarthy contributed to the script of Mad Max: Fury Road, but his earliest pitch for the sequel bore more of a resemblance to 2016’s controversial cult horror Don’t Breathe. Mad Max: Fury Road had a very long and arduous journey from script to screen. Even when the movie’s budget had been secured and the cast was hired, Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy’s on-set feud guaranteed that making the movie itself was no walk in the park.

In 2016, Fede Álvarez released the follow-up to his feature-length debut Evil Dead. This time around, though, the story was original and the movie was in no way a remake. Don't Breathe premiered at the South by Southwest film festival in 2016 before hitting theaters that following August, with a sequel being released just shy of exactly 5 years later.
