After saying his name for over a year, Candyman is finally here. The horror sequel from filmmaker Nia DaCosta opens in theaters this weekend, after being delayed for over a year thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Though this is the fourth film in the Candyman series, the 2021 movie will serve as a direct sequel to the original 1992 film. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who recently starred in HBO’s Watchman series, will play Anthony McCoy, a visual artist who stumbles across the horrific true story of the killer known as the Candyman. The movie also stars Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, and Colman Domingo; while Tony Todd and Vanessa Estelle Williams will reprise their roles from the 1992 film. But though you’ve been waiting patiently for Candyman to arrive, it’s a confusing time for movie releases. Some big blockbusters are releasing on streaming services, and others are sticking to theatrical. Never fear, because Decider is here to help.
