In a recent interview, the Doctor Strange director opened up about the fate of his latest horror film series, stating that the Black Phone franchise could continue under one condition.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Scott Derrickson says \u2018there certainly can be more\u2019 regarding Black Phone 3<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While speaking with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/black-phone-3-sequel-potential-explained-grabber-scott-derrickson-ethan-hawke\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Collider;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Collider<\/a>\u2018s Aidan Kelley, Scott Derrickson stated that although he is open to the idea of making a sequel to Black Phone 2, such a project will only materialize if he comes up with the right idea for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThere certainly can be more. But again, there doesn\u2019t have to be. If there is to be more, there has to be a reason for it,\u201d the 59-year-old director said about the prospect of Black Phone 3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He then added, \u201cI enjoy franchises. I think I\u2019ve seen every Halloween movie, and that\u2019s a lot. I saw every Elm Street movie. So, part of it is the delight of going back to characters or to iconic villains that you\u2019re interested in seeing again. But for me, I\u2019m interested in seeing more audaciously fresh takes that are surprising.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Notably, in Black Phone 2, Ethan Hawke\u2019s villainous Grabber meets his supposed end again when Gwen and Finney, played by Madeleine McGraw and Mason Thames, trap him inside a frozen lake after receiving help from the spirits of his previous victims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Talking about the general consensus regarding the sequel, Derrickson noted, \u201cI think that the response to this movie, the majority of the audience loved it because it was so different. Now, some people took issue with it or didn\u2019t like it because it was so different, and that\u2019s okay. I understand if you wanted to see something closer to the first film. That\u2019s fine, but that doesn\u2019t interest me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He also reiterated that a third film featuring the Grabber would only happen if continuing the story actually makes sense. \u201cSo, if there\u2019s going to be a Black Phone 3, it would have to be another big pivot. Otherwise, I don\u2019t see the point of making it,\u201d Derrickson added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Apoorv Rastogi on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/movies\/news\/2063472-black-phone-3-2-update-director-scott-derrickson-ethan-hawke\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1688581-black-phone-3-2-update-director-scott-derrickson-ethan-hawke\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Black Phone Franchise Director Addresses Part 3 Possibilities;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Black Phone Franchise Director Addresses Part 3 Possibilities<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With fans of the Black Phone movies eagerly awaiting an update on the franchise\u2019s future, director Scott Derrickson has revealed that there is a chance that a third film will happen.
