Cloverfield: new sequel to Batman Showrunner TV series won’t be found

The 25 best horror movies

This sequel appears to follow in the footsteps of other films in the Cloverfield universe, 10 Cloverfield Lane from 2016 and The Cloverfield Paradox from 2018, in that it won’t be a rediscovered film like the original Cloverfield. It differs from 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Cloverfield Paradox in that while the other two films are set in the same universe as the 2008 film, they are not directly related to it. to the Cloverfield universe, but were ultimately altered to fit into the universe before each film was released.

According to THR, this new movie will be a direct sequel to Cloverfield, which ended on a cliffhanger that is not clear on whether the nuclear explosion that occurs in the film’s final moments actually killed the Manhattan terrorizing monster.

Matt Reeves, who is currently working on The Batman, was the director of Cloverfield and THR reports that he is not involved in the sequel. He made Cloverfield for $ 25 million and then grossed $ 172 million at the box office. With this sequel ditching the approach to footage found to be generally cheaper, it’s easy to see this film’s budget skyrocket beyond $ 25 million. Only time will tell if audiences will show up to make it as successful as the original.
