candyman 2021

For candyman 2020 as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago's Cabrini-Green neighborhood were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II; HBO's Watchmen, Us) and his partner, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris; If Beale Street Could Talk, The Photograph), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennial.

Candyman 2020 release date

Audiences will have to wait until 2021 to summon “Candyman.” The supernatural slasher film, directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld and DaCosta, has pushed back its theatrical release and will now debut on the big screen sometime next year.

“Candyman” was supposed to hit theaters on Oct. 16. Universal and MGM, the studios behind the movie, have yet to set a new release date but plan to announce one in the coming weeks.

The news comes hours after Warner Bros. postponed “Wonder Woman 1984” from Oct. 2 to Christmas Day. Without the “Wonder Woman” sequel, “Candyman” would have been the next highly anticipated movie to release on the big screen following “Tenet.”
