The outlet also reports that in keeping with franchise tradition, Chicago will be the only filming location for the film.
The film returns to the neighborhood where the legend began, the now-gentrified section of Chicago where the Cabrini-Green housing projects once stood.
The film will star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman) as he takes on the iconic titular role.
According to the Chicago Tribune (via Bloody Disgusting), Oscar winner Jordan Peele’s upcoming Candyman sequel starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is reportedly scheduled to begin production in mid-August and is planning to wrap by early fall.
