Finally, a Sequel to ‘The Collector’ and ‘The Collection’ is Happening!

We’ve been begging for a sequel to The Collection ever since the follow-up to The Collector was released back in 2012, but despite the sequel tease at the end of the second installment (Arkin collects the Collector!), there’s been no forward momentum on that front these past seven years. Which brings us to tonight, and a tease from franchise star Josh Stewart!

Stewart, who plays the unlikely hero Arkin in the series, took to Twitter tonight to share a poster for The Collector 3, tweeted out with the simple caption: “Lock the door.”

And no, this isn’t just a cruel joke, as we’ve confirmed part 3 is happening!

Stewart’s Arkin was the sole survivor of the Collector’s wrath in the first film, a sinister maniac who’s fond of rigging up elaborate traps and quite literally collecting his victims… dead and alive. Stewart returned for the sequel, taking the fight to the Collector and ultimately defeating him. Presumably, the new film will pick up where The Collection left off.

Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan co-wrote both films, and Dunstan served as director. We can also exclusively tell you that Dunstan is back to direct the third installment!

More as we learn it…

A sixth installment in Legendary’s 10-years-strong Monsterverse is in the works, and The Hollywood Reporter lets us know that Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) will direct the movie.

THR notes, “The new Monstervese feature is described as a continuation of the franchise centering Godzilla, Kong and an assortment of other Titans.” Stay tuned for more.

Adam Wingard, meanwhile, is returning to his roots with Onslaught, an action-thriller for A24 that’s said to be more in the vein of his earlier movies You’re Next and The Guest.

Wingard had directed both Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong.

We had recently learned that Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is writing the upcoming (and untitled) sixth movie in the Monsterverse franchise.

Beginning with the Godzilla film in 2014 and continuing through 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, and most recently the record-breaking Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the Monsterverse has accumulated over $2B at the global box office and expanded into the highly successful event series, Legendary’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters for Apple TV+. We recently learned that “Monarch” is getting a second season, with more Monsterverse spinoff shows being planned at Apple TV+.

“Apple TV+ has struck a new multi-series deal with Legendary Entertainment, which includes multiple spinoff series based on the franchise,” the recent press release had stated.
