UPDATE: Monday, 26 October 2020 – After being pulled from the schedule for an unset 2021 release, Universal Pictures has confirmed Jordan Peele and Nia DaCosta’s ‘Candyman’ will release on August 27, 2021, at cinemas.
The original Candyman starred Todd as the son of a former slave who is killed by an angry mob after falling in love with a white woman and marrying her. In his afterlife, he becomes Candyman, taking revenge on residents of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green housing projects, which were built on the area where he was killed.
“The urban legend is, if you say his name five times while looking in the mirror, he appears in the reflection and it kills you,” says Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who plays an artist named Anthony McCoy.
