THE BLACK PHONE 2 Adds Demián Bichir to Its Cast

by

As a seasoned horror enthusiast with a soft spot for spine-tingling tales, I can confidently say that the announcement of The Black Phone 2 has sent a shiver down my very core. Having grown up on classics like The Exorcist and Nightmare on Elm Street, I’ve become accustomed to the chilling presence of iconic villains. Ethan Hawke’s portrayal of The Grabber in the first film was nothing short of masterful, a modern-day boogeyman that has left an indelible mark on the horror genre.

The movie titled “The Black Phone” sparked some disagreement and stirred up feelings among horror enthusiasts for multiple reasons. However, one aspect that everyone seems to agree on is how unsettling Ethan Hawke’s portrayal of the villain, The Grabber, was. He played a child abductor and murderer from the 1970s who wore terrifying masks, making him an undeniably effective boogeyman. Despite any differing opinions, the film performed well enough to warrant a sequel from Universal Pictures and Blumhouse. For now, it’s being referred to as “The Black Phone 2,” and it is accumulating both a larger cast and a chilling release date.

The Black Phone 2’s Cast and Crew

The Black Phone‘s original cast will all return for its sequel, which includes Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, and Miguel Mora. In addition to them, Deadline reports that Demián Bichir will join The Black Phone 2’s cast as well. His face is pretty familiar to horror fans from films like The Grudge (2020), The Nun (2018), and Alien: Covenant (2017). Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill will also return to write The Black Phone 2.
