The new horror film, Weapons, is taking 2025 by storm. It had a dream run at the box office and touched the USD 100 million mark worldwide within nearly two weeks of its release. Weapons tells the chilling story of children mysteriously disappearing from a small Pennsylvania town. It received praise for its originality, suspense, and strong performances. While both critics and audiences love it, fans are already buzzing with speculation about a possible sequel. Moreover, the strong box office numbers in combination with some unanswered questions in the storyline have fueled rumours that Weapons 2 could be on the horizon. Here’s everything we know about it.
Weapons director Zach Cregger has a plan for Weapons 2
Film director, Zach Cregger, who rose to fame after making the 2022 hit, Barbarian, has hinted that Weapons‘ first movie might not be the end. He sat down for a conversation with Variety and shared that he has another idea for a potential sequel. Rather, he has a vision for a Weapons world kind of thing. The simple hint about the film’s journey or a similar journey continuing has left the fans excited. In his words:
“I can’t help it: I have another idea for something in this world that I’m kind of excited about.”

However, before fans could begin setting hope for a date next year or soon, he clarified that he will not do it after his next film. But he has an idea that he would like to explore in future. For those unaware, the filmmaker is currently focused on his next project, a reboot of the Resident Evil franchise. So, a sequel to Weapons is unlikely to happen immediately. Still, with the film performing so well at the box office, it wouldn’t be surprising if discussions about a follow-up begin soon. Warner Bros. has reportedly shown interest in using the film’s success, which has added more weight to the speculation.
