Nell Tiger Free stars as Margaret in the new prequel of The Omen franchise, produced by David S. Goyer and Keith Levine. The original 1976 film, directed by Richard Donner, was a significant success that captured the religious terror of its time. When approached by 20th Century Fox to revisit the franchise, Goyer expressed interest in creating a standalone story akin to the approach taken with Batman Begins.
The new film, titled The First Omen, introduces Margaret as a troubled young woman working at an orphanage, setting the stage for eerie occurrences. While paying homage to the original Omen universe, the movie ventures into modern themes of religion and faith, exploring their impact on society and women's rights.
