finished with directing horror for good.
Wan introduced audiences to one of contemporary cinema's Toni Erdmann, which won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2017, although she's not a part of Malignant's ensemble cast. Right now, Jake Abel, Michole Briana White, Annabelle Wallis, and Maddie Hasson have all been announced as attached to the movie, as well as Jacqueline McKenzie and George Young.
According to The One and Only Ivan, and Nobody.
So far, very little confirmed information about the film is available, but if Wan and Bisu's likely source material is any indication, Malignant will fall more on the supernatural side of the director's oeuvre, while also incorporating elements of science fiction and body horror. Based on the amount of potential source material, as well as Wan's proven track record of spawning and steering lucrative franchises, Malignant might have the potential to become the next Insidious or The Conjuring.
Even if Malignant doesn't take off as a franchise, and instead gets grouped with some of his less-well-received efforts like Dead Silence and in May of 2020, a few months ahead of Malignant's mid-summer release.
