Despite what the ending of Weapons might have implied, we haven’t heard the last of Amy Madigan’s Aunt Gladys. Deadline reports that Weapons writer/director Zach Cregger is teaming up with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire screenwriter Zach Shields to write Gladys, a prequel focused on the witchy menace.
Madigan won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her terrifying turn as a woman who uses dark magic to control people, often for sinister purposes. Deadline doesn’t confirm whether Madigan will appear in the prequel, or if it’ll feature a much younger Gladys’s origins, but theoretically it would confirm which of two backstories Cregger created for the character (letting Madigan choose one of them to inform her own performance).
