This casting is the latest for the film, which just began production this week. The reboot, will be directed by Nia DaCosta, and will be released on June 12, 2020.

Fans were originally apprehensive about a reboot of the beloved film that spawned the franchise. However, after casting details and news of Todd’s involvement began circulating, fans began to relax a little. “In [Candyman reboot producer] Jordan Peele’s case I really like what I’ve seen of his work so far,” Todd shared with Forbes. “I have full confidence in that remake being in competent hands and he and I have talked. I can’t say anything further than that, but I think the fans are going to be happy.”
