2016’s The Boy was an off-the-wall experience. One that went big without a care for anything that the audience may have thought was absurd. While the film didn’t bloom or find a home at the box office, it did manage to find a home on digital and home video.
The 2020 sequel Brahms: The Boy II went in a much different direction than the first. Since the first film was built around a twist ending, it was difficult to see how a proper narrative could be made the second time around. But, director Willliam Brent Bell managed to put something together that was fun and unexpected.
While speaking with Comicbook.com, about the future of The Boy films director Willliam Brent Bell said “I think so. I think when we made the first movie, the assumption was if we continued the story, it would’ve been the story of Brahms, the guy in the walls, like a slasher killer. And then, as time went on and the producers saw how the doll had become in the zeitgeist with Kushner in particular, and so it was like, ‘Okay, we’ll focus on that.’ But in a way, I feel like a movie, it’s either you have a great standalone film or you probably need a trilogy to really round out a character. And so the second film in that series focused on the doll, and I think a third film would 100% focus on Brahms, the guy.”

So, it sounds like we may get a third film for a full Brahms trilogy. If that is the case we are most likely looking at Bell once again following his current film, Orphan: First Kill. Bell sounds very interested in returning to The Boy films. We will just have to wait and see.
Would you be excited about a third film in the Brahms run of films? Do you think a third The Boy would be a blast?
