Matt Reeves, the filmmaker behind the first installment, confirms that Cloverfield 2 is in development.
Director Matt Reeves has confirmed that a sequel to his first big-screen hit, Cloverfield, is now in development. Speaking with Comicbook.com, Reeves reveals that he could one day be tempted back to the franchise, and while he does not know what the studio has in store for Cloverfield, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, he is excited to see what’s next for the movie monster.
As for whether Reeves would ever consider helming another installment in the Cloverfield franchise, the filmmaker is open to the idea, utilizing that well-known philosophy “never say never.”
The next Cloverfield movie (which is technically Cloverfield 4 following both 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Cloverfield Paradox) is expected to be a direct sequel to the first Cloverfield rather than a loosely connected installment. Word of a sequel first appeared in January 2021, with Under the Shadow and I Came By’s Babak Anvari now attached as director.
