This news comes after a fairly recent update that Demián Bichir was cast in The Black Phone 2, although it's unclear what his character is like.

When The Black Phone ended, Gwen Blake (Madeline McGraw) saved her brother Finney Blake (Mason Thames) after The Grabber kidnapped and tried to kill Finney. Their father Terrence Blake (Jeremy Davies) realizes he has been a terrible father and says he'll change, although of course that doesn't make up for his cruel treatment toward his kids in The Black Phone. McGraw, Blake, Davies, and Miguel Mora, who played Robin, are coming back. Ethan Hawke is also playing The Grabber again.

No one is certain what will happen in The Black Phone 2, but perhaps Gwen and Finney try to stop The Grabber from hurting more kids. Perhaps he has gone into hiding and now, after some time has passed, he has returned to the neighborhood. Or perhaps they track him down and face off against him. The Black Phone has a lot in common with Sinister, another dark Blumhouse movie also starring Hawke and also written and directed by Scott Derrickson. The sequel could take some cues from Sinister 2 and make the villain even more terrifying.

In an interview with The AU Review, Hawke talked about playing The Grabber and why the villain is so fear-inducing. Hawke said:

"He’s not Darth Vader, he’s some other entity. And the more you see him breathing, but you can’t read the expression. Is he asleep? Is he not asleep?... Why is this person so awful? What is motivating them? That unknown is where a lot of the fear lives. And Scott’s very good at mining those tropes."

Horror fans are hopeful that The Black Phone 2 will be as harrowing as the original. There's no doubt that the sequel will be successful and Blumhouse could make an entire franchise. As Box Office Mojo states, the original had a worldwide gross of $161,440,742. The Grabber is a villain who has staying power and could haunt many towns for years to come. It'll be tough to wait for October 2025 to see where he goes next, but hopefully, Gwen and Finney can win against him once again.
