Sequel to underappreciated horror film resumes almost right where the first left off, according to Elijah Wood, and "amplifies everything you cherish about the initial film": "It substantially expands the lore"

In an exciting turn of events for horror movie fans, the sequel to the critically acclaimed "Ready or Not" is on the horizon. Directed once again by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, known as Radio Silence, the film is expected to delve deeper into the intriguing mythology established in the original.

The first instalment of the series, released in 2019, followed a woman named Grace (played by Samara Weaving) as she found herself hunted by her new husband's family in a deadly game of hide-and-seek. The movie, considered a severely underrated horror pic, pulled in over $57 million at the global box office against a budget of just $6 million.

Weaving is set to reprise her role in "Ready or Not 2," with a new cast joining her. Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kevin Durand, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, Olivia Cheng, and David Cronenberg are among the new faces.

Elijah Wood, who has expressed his fondness for the original "Ready or Not," will also star in the sequel. His role, however, remains unknown at this time. Wood has spoken about the sequel to Bloody Disgusting, expressing his excitement and assurance that fans of the original will be pleased.

Wood appreciates the nugget of the mythology in the original "Ready or Not" and is looking forward to seeing how it unfolds in the sequel. He praised the directors, Radio Silence, for their work and praised the cast, particularly Samara Weaving's portrayal of the character Grace.

With the original movie's success and the promising lineup for the sequel, "Ready or Not 2" is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the horror genre. No release date has been announced yet, but fans are eagerly awaiting more information about this highly anticipated sequel.
