But how true were those reports? And how does Zach Cregger feel about all this? He opens up in a new chat with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fangoria.com\/weapons-streaming-release-zach-cregger-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Fangoria<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Zach Cregger confirms to Fangoria, \u201cIt is real and I\u2019ve been talking to Warner Bros. about it.

It sounds like this\u00a0Weapons\u00a0prequel would expand upon the material that would\u2019ve served as the film\u2019s \u201cAunt Gladys\u201d chapter.<\/p>\n<p>But first up, the next film from Zach Cregger is a <a href=\"https:\/\/bloody-disgusting.com\/movie\/3892737\/zach-cregger-compares-his-austin-abrams-led-resident-evil-movie-to-evil-dead-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">fresh take on the\u00a0Resident Evil\u00a0franchise<\/a>, with Cregger directing the horror movie for theatrical release on September 18, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Weapons is now available on Digital at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was reported back in August that Zach Cregger\u2019s box office hit Weapons was potentially getting a prequel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397,3803,20996],"class_list":{"0":"post-31861","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-weapons","13":"tag-zach-cregger"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
