It’s since been rumored that Tony Todd will reprise Candyman once more, further indicating this new Candyman movie isn’t a straightforward reboot.
If Beale Street Could Talk’s Teyonah Parris is also attached to the cast, and it was rumored at the beginning of the year that Atlanta’s Lakeith Stanfield will be involved too.
While it was initially reported that Aquaman actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen would play the new Candyman, director Nia DaCosta later said this wasn’t the case.
