In a recent update about the highly anticipated sequel, Talk To Me 2, actress Sophie Wilde has given a disappointing update regarding her potential return to the franchise. Directed by Australian brothers Danny and Michael Philippou, Talk to Me captivated audiences with its thrilling storyline and impressive performances, leading to critical acclaim and a whopping $92 million at the box office, surpassing its modest $4.5 million budget. The success of the film naturally sparked speculation about a sequel, and A24 confirmed its development in late 2023.
However, when speaking to GamesRadar+, Wilde expressed uncertainty about her involvement in Talk To Me 2. She revealed that the Philippou brothers, renowned for their dedication and work ethic, are currently focusing on other projects. While she remains unsure about reprising her role as Mia, Wilde did emphasize her enthusiasm for participating in the production in some capacity. In a humorous note, she even suggested working behind the scenes as a boom operator or an assistant director, just to be part of the sequel.
Talk To Me, released in 2022, received rave reviews for its gripping narrative, the stellar performances of its cast, and the Philippou brothers' remarkable direction. The film's ambiguous ending and its commercial success naturally fueled anticipation for a sequel, with fans eagerly suggesting and clamoring for a continuation of the story. After a period of speculation, A24 confirmed that Talk To Me 2 would receive a theatrical release, generating even more excitement. However, no official release date has been announced yet.
Regarding the cast, there is limited information about who will return from the original film and which new faces might appear in the sequel. Given the fate of Mia's character in Talk To Me, it is expected that many original characters might not feature in the sequel. Mia was last seen in the spirit world, summoned to another house party with her embalmed hand still participating in the titular game, leaving her survival questionable.
In terms of the plot, details for Talk To Me 2 remain scarce. However, Danny and Michael Philippou recently revealed that they have enough material for a possible trilogy. While they haven't explicitly disclosed the contents of this material, there is strong speculation that Talk To Me 2 will introduce a new set of characters who stumble upon the embalmed hand used to summon spirits, continuing the chilling and unpredictable narrative.
Fans of Talk To Me eagerly await further updates on the sequel's development, including casting announcements, plot details, and an official release date. With the success and acclaim of the original film, expectations are high for Talk To Me 2 to deliver another suspenseful and haunting experience.
