"According to Dread Central, Sam Raimi's 1990 superhero movie Darkman is getting a new sequel from Brian Netto and Adam Schindler, directors of the Netflix horror movie Don't Move, which was produced by Raimi. There's no word as to what this movie would cover, but it's clearly been in the works for a while. "If we're talking Sam-related, it's Darkman. We talked about Darkman [with him]. We've got a love and an affinity for Darkman," Schindler told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024."
""Darkman was my favorite film for a good portion of my life," Netto added. "It was the movie, so Darkman would be really interesting." Darkman, originally starring Liam Neeson and Frances McDormand, follows the story of a scientist left misfigured by an attack by a gangster who uses his newfound superpowers and his experimental skin replacement to impersonate a criminal and wreak his vengeance."
