Following the chilling success of The Black Phone (2022), rumors have begun swirling about a potential sequel that could bring Ethan Hawke’s terrifying Grabber back to the big screen. While there has been no definitive confirmation from Blumhouse, industry speculation suggests that The Black Phone 2 may already be in early development, with director Scott Derrickson potentially returning to expand the eerie universe of the first film. The original film, based on Joe Hill’s short story, followed young Finney Blake (Mason Thames) as he was abducted by the sadistic Grabber and forced to escape using the mysterious black phone that allowed him to communicate with the killer’s past victims. While the ending seemingly wrapped up the story, horror fans have speculated that there is more to explore—particularly regarding the origins of the Grabber and the supernatural elements tied to the phone itself. One of the biggest questions remains: if the Grabber is truly gone, how could a sequel work? Some theories suggest that The Black Phone 2 could shift perspectives, either exploring a new killer who possesses a similar phone or diving into a prequel that reveals the origins of the Grabber’s sinister methods. Another possibility is that the supernatural connection through the phone could continue beyond death, haunting a new set of victims.
