‘Crawl’ Sequel, Starring Mason Gooding and Emily Rudd, Gets July 2027 Release Date
Paramount is circling release dates for two horror sequels: the new “Crawl” movie starring Mason Gooding and Emily Rudd, and “Heart Eyes 2.” The yet-to-be-titled “Crawl” sequel is set for July 16, 2027. Alexandre Aja — who directed the 2019 horror thriller, which was a breakout b
The "Crawl" sequel is getting a release date, and it's a smart move by Paramount to capitalize on the success of the 2019 horror film. The original movie, directed by Alexandre Aja, was a surprise hit, grossing over $72 million worldwide on a budget of just $13 million. The sequel's July 2027 release date gives the studio plenty of time to build hype and generate buzz around the film.
The casting of Mason Gooding and Emily Rudd is also a savvy choice, as both actors have shown their range in horror and thriller genres. Gooding, in particular, has been on a roll lately, following his breakout role in "Scream" and appearances in "The Boys" and "The Kicks." Rudd, meanwhile, has been gaining attention for her roles in "Pachinko" and "The Spiderwick Chronicles." The combination of the two could bring a fresh dynamic to the franchise.
What's next to watch is how the sequel will live up to the original's success and whether it will be able to recapture the same magic. With a release date still over three years away, there's plenty of time for Paramount to build anticipation and generate excitement around the film. Keep an eye on the marketing strategy and any upcoming casting announcements to see how the studio plans to revive the "Crawl" franchise.
