A'zion's comeback with the Final Girl could help the Franchise's past mistakes to be corrected.
A'zion's remarks came rather more than a month following producer Keith Levine's encouraging report on the progress of the *Hellraiser* reboot sequel, so attesting to the continuous discussions for the follow-up and Bruckner's continuing active participation in them. Levine did went on to indicate that the sequel is "going to be even crazier and even more awesome" than the first movie, a hopeful promise for those who were delighted by the last installment, even though he noted he couldn reveal "where we're at in those conversations".
Should A'zion truly return as Riley for the *Hellraiser* sequel, it would curiously reflect how the follow-up to Clive Barker's original film unfolded in that Ashley Laurence returned her role as original final girl, Kirsty Cotton, for the 1988 sequel. More than Kirsty's path suggests, though, A'zion's comeback could help to atone for the errors both it and 2002's *Hellraiser: Hellseeker* committed with the character. Franchise fans particularly objected to the later sequel for making Kirsty into rather of a villain depending on the Lament Configuration for her personal benefit.
Fascinating Reaction to Potential *Hellraiser* 2 Return from Popular Horror Reboot Hulu Star
The franchise's remake became a blockbuster for Hulu over two years ago, and Odessa A'zion has an intriguing answer to her possible *Hellraiser* 2 comeback. A'zion headlined the cast of the 2022 *Hellraiser* movie as Riley, a recovered addict whose efforts to bounce back while living with her brother, his boyfriend, and their roommate are disrupted when she finds the Lament Configuration and unintentionally releases the Cenobites on them all. Under David Bruckner's direction, the film received generally positive reviews from critics and became only the second one in the series to get a Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
During a recent interview with Screen Rant for her part in the forthcoming crime drama *Fresh Kills*, A'zion was asked about her possible return in a *Hellraiser* sequel. The 2022 movie star was quite cautious in what she revealed regarding a sequel, wryly adding she would incur "in so much trouble" if to say too much, while also verifying she has heard talks of a follow-up under development. Check what A'zion mentioned below:
Second Chapter for *Hellraiser*
Oh god, if I say anything, I'm going to get in quite trouble. [Has laughs] Nothing official, I have heard here and there; I do not believe it will ever be official. But also unknown is something else. Never knows.
*The Hellbound Heart* by Clive Barker is a new adaption that *Hellraiser* is a fresh movie launching just on Hulu. In this movie, a young woman battling addiction comes into an age-old puzzle box by accident. Solving the riddle, she calls the Cenobites—supernatural entities with a passion of sadism who feel the line separating pain from pleasure is hazy.
How the reboot sequence for *Hellraiser* might be a welcome change?
Riley's greatest route for returning in a possible *Hellraiser* reboot sequel would be to delve deeper into the Cenobites' past, especially if another individual looks to call them using the puzzle box. The 1988 sequel placed Kirsty in a psychiatric facility operated by a doctor fixated on the Cenobites, but given Riley's own terrible past involving drugs, copying from this novel would seem like a step back for the character rather than build on the development observed in the 2022 remake. Bruckner's participation in the creative discussions for the sequel, however, makes it improbable he would let one of his characters return without a significant backstory.
