Given how acclaimed that project was, <em>Weapons<\/em> became one of the most highly anticipated <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/upcoming-horror-movies-scary-movies-220820797.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:upcoming horror movies;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">upcoming horror movies<\/a> of the year. It&#8217;s finally here, and Aunt Gladys actress Amy Madigan recently spoke about the prequel movie rumors that have been circulating online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/beyond-messed-weapons-screened-critics-181134740.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Critics have been praising Weapons;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Critics have been praising <em>Weapons<\/em><\/a>, and it&#8217;s already become wildly popular online. This is at least partly thanks to Amy Madigan&#8217;s villainous Gladys, who went viral after <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/weapons-officially-one-greatest-box-181442344.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Weapons hit theaters;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><em>Weapons<\/em> hit theaters<\/a>. There&#8217;s been chatter that Cregger is working on a prequel for the villain, and in a conversation with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/weapons-amy-madigan-first-interview-aunt-gladys-prequel-exclusive-11791481\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EW;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">EW<\/a>, the actress responded to the discourse. She said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s not that I discount it, but in this business, nothing&#8217;s real till it&#8217;s real. I just had such a great time working with Zach and being inside that brain of his. That&#8217;s really the gift of how the movie came out. The other stuff has to do with all sorts of conversations that I would never be privy in and business things like that. But, you know, I love Gladys, so I&#8217;ll leave it at that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This sounds like a healthy perspective. Given how long Madigan has worked in TV and film (including her Oscar nominated role in <em>Twice in a Lifetime<\/em>), she knows how the industry works. So she&#8217;s not going to count on Award Season attention or a <em>Weapons<\/em> prequel until they actually come to fruition. Personally I&#8217;m definitely hoping for the latter. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Amy Madigan as Meredith's therapist on Grey's Anatomy\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/d.z9co_diV_4htMYNbRC3Q--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/1e778a681e92846abe742d0c3ca93885\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: ABC<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/weapons-review-2025-remarkable-horror-190000927.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:CinemaBlend's Weapons review;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">CinemaBlend&#8217;s <em>Weapons<\/em> review<\/a> praises Madigan&#8217;s performance as Gladys, who is both a comedic and terrifying force throughout its 128-minute runtime. It&#8217;s a performance to be remembered, among many on her long resume. That includes her iconic tenure on <em>Grey&#8217;s Anatomy<\/em> (which is streaming with a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tech.yahoo.com\/streaming\/articles\/netflix-subscription-plans-price-included-174717448.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Netflix subscription;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Netflix subscription<\/a>), where she played Meredith&#8217;s therapist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Later in that same interview, the 74 year-old star of TV and film shared what it&#8217;s like seeing how universally acclaimed her work in <em>Weapons<\/em> has been received. In her words:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s really nice because I felt my work is really good in this piece. I&#8217;ve been doing it a long time, so to get something that&#8217;s this gratifying and people like it&#8230;it&#8217;s fun. It&#8217;s given me a good giggle, but as you&#8217;re going up, you could come down just as quickly. So you have to take it with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It definitely sounds like Madigan&#8217;s acclaimed career has taught her a thing or two about the industry. She&#8217;s not letting hype cloud her perspective, although she&#8217;s happy that her work on <em>Weapons<\/em> is getting its flowers.
