No one yet knows what the story will be, but one idea could see The Grabber becoming a supernatural entity who haunts children from the afterlife. This twist could introduce new victims or intertwine with Finney and Gwenβs story, possibly with The Grabberβs malevolent spirit haunting the siblings or invading their dreams. However, turning this character into a recurring horror figure might not align with Ethan Hawkeβs career plans.
Scott Derricksonβs film adaptation of Joe Hillβs βThe Black Phoneβ received acclaim from critics and audiences, boasting an 83% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and grossing over $161 million against a budget of just under $20 million. Although βThe Black Phoneβ concludes in a manner that doesnβt naturally lead to a sequel, its success has sparked interest in continuing the story. While Scott Derrickson hasnβt officially stated heβll direct the sequel, he expressed openness to the idea and even celebrated a tentative 2025 sequel release date on Twitter.
