While Tony Todd, who played Candyman in the original, isn’t featured in the trailer, he’s rumoured to return.
Candyman 2020 will cover the issue of gentrification but producer Ian Cooper has said that it will also take on toxic fandom.
The surviving baby from the first film, Anthony McCoy, is now a visual artist who becomes interested in the Candyman legend.
A sequel to Candyman, doubling up as a reinvention, is heading to cinemas this summer from Oscar-winning producer Jordan Peele, with the first trailer now released.
