I’m not used to doing that. So you’ll get it quick.” The director further went on to share the filming and release window revealing.

“I feel like at the moment where we stand, the time period for this coming out would be like Halloween 2025. But if we miss that, it’ll probably be the first quarter of 2026, so it won’t be far off it.”
