Remember when a few months ago Sam Raimi talked about how he wanted to do a Batman film and we mentioned that he already, sorta, did with one of his earliest films, 1990's Darkman starring Liam Neeson?
Well, it appears that the very same Darkman is getting a sequel many decades later.
Raimi spoke to The Wrap while promoting his MCU debut, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and confirmed that "Universal is talking about a Darkman sequel." In addition, Raimi revealed that Universal already has a "producer attached", suggesting that the project is already in its early stages of development. Unfortunately, outside of saying that he thinks the Darkman sequel is "cool", Raimi could not talk more about the film.
Darkman was one of Raimi's earliest projects and while it wasn't a box office darling, it did well enough given its budget and was a huge hit among critics as well. The fact that it took this long for Universal to consider a sequel is a travesty.
