Fresh off of his role as Black Manta in James Wan’s Aquaman, the moment that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II was announced as being connected to Candyman, it felt pretty natural that he’d be the new inhabitant of the Clive Barker created character.
But it’s so secret that we don’t even know what Abdul-Mateen II ‘s exact role will be.
But now, with DaCosta making these recent remarks, it sounds like there’s room for Tony Todd to return as of yet.
So whatever is happening with this new Candyman film, it sounds like not only is it something so off the beaten path that it needs secrecy.
