It Follows 2 Will Be a ‘Bigger and Darker’ Sequel, Says Maika Monroe
While actress refrains from spoiling any essential details about the upcoming sequel, she teased that audiences will be treated to a “bigger and darker and more fucked up” sequel to the 2014 horror film.
The sequel to the David Robert Mitchell-directed horror feature was announced last year, with Monroe attached to reprise her role of Jay Height and Mitchell returning as the sequel’s director.
The movie centered on Jay, who got pursued by an entity that had appeared after she slept with her boyfriend. A curse that is transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact, Jay tries the best she can to get rid of the entity, which can only disappear once Jay decides to pass it on to someone else.
It is still unknown at this point what the sequel will be about. Monroe, on the other hand, didn’t really give anything away either regarding the movie’s plot. However, in an interview with Collider, the actress teased that the sequel is “so good” and that she’s “excited” to be meeting Jay once again.
“But as you know with the first film, I’m not taking any credit in this, David is brilliant. I mean, he is brilliant. The whole movie transformed at that point. It was changing the game in the genre, and he wouldn’t ever make a sequel if he didn’t think it was going to top it. He’s very specific, turns down so many,” said Monroe.
She added, “He just knows what he wants to do and what he wants to make. I mean, at first I’m like, “Oh, a sequel? Where are we going to go here?” And I read it, and it’s just so fucking good. It’s so good. I’m so excited. I think where you’ll meet Jay at this point is maybe not what’s expected, but it’s so cool. It’s just, of course, as everyone says for sequels, literally, though, is just bigger and darker and more fucked up. Reading it was the craziest thing ever.”
