Dare to say his name.
The marketing campaign for director Nia DaCosta (Little Woods) and co-writer/producer Jordan Peele‘s Candyman has officially begun, with the first piece of poster art arriving today.
On the poster, a familiar looking hook, slick with honey. He’s baaaaaack.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the trailer will be here on Thursday, February 27th. While you wait, you can check out a very, very brief little Twitter teaser down below…

Peele co-wrote the script, described as a “spiritual sequel” to the original classic.
The new movie returns to the neighborhood where the legend began: the now-gentrified section of Chicago where the Cabrini-Green housing projects once stood.
The cast is led by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Us, Aquaman), Teyonah Parris (If Beale Street Could Talk, Chi-Raq), Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Misfits, Utopia) and Colman Domingo (HBO’s Euphoria, If Beale Street Could Talk).
MGM will bring Candyman back to life on June 12, 2020.
