While Joe Hill’s exact proposal for The Black Phone sequel remains uncertain, the current storyline offers numerous possibilities. If the victims of The Grabber can communicate from the afterlife and influence the real world, a sequel might depict him continuing his sinister deeds, perhaps in a more terrifying manner. Another potential direction is exploring The Grabber’s past to unravel the factors shaping his character. While nothing is confirmed, audiences can anticipate an engaging and potentially chilling continuation in The Black Phone 2.

Scheduled as the sequel to the 2022 horror success The Black Phone, The Black Phone 2 has already sparked intense speculation about what awaits when The Grabber returns in Scott Derrickson’s adaptation of Joe Hill’s work. The original film received positive reviews, particularly praising Ethan Hawke’s portrayal of the villain. Despite its release a year ago, the movie continues to generate interest, with hints about a possible sequel from Derrickson, Hawke, and Hill.

Following the confirmation of its release date, The Black Phone 2 revealed that the entire cast from the first movie, including Ethan Hawke, would be returning. Despite The Grabber’s apparent demise in the first film’s finale, Ethan Hawke is set to reprise his role. Alongside him, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, and Miguel Mora will also return to portray their characters from The Black Phone.
