Sam Raimi says Universal is talking about a Darkman sequel

After almost a decade without, we finally have a new Sam Raimi movie in the cinema. Doctor Strange i Multiverse of madness marks Raimi’s return to the superhero genre, which did not begin with Spider Manbut with Dark man. We can actually see Darkman’s return when Sam Raimi told The Wrap that Universal Pictures has been talking about a Darkman legacy sequel.

Yes. Universal is talking about a Darkman sequel. There is a manufacturer affiliated. I have not heard the story yet or gone into it I have been so busy with [Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness]. But I think it’s cool.

Sam Raimi had long wanted to direct a cartoon and decided to create his own hero after trying and failing to acquire the rights to Batman and The shadow. Dark man with Liam Neeson in the lead role as Peyton Westlake, an ingenious scientist who developed synthetic skin that was brutally attacked, disfigured and left to the death of gangsters. He survived, but the treatment left him with superhuman abilities and a side of mental instability. Sam Raimi does not know if Liam Neeson would be down to return to one Dark man successor, but he would love to have him back if necessary. “I do not know if he would do thatsaid Raimi. “But he would be incredible.“

Nothing has been officially confirmed about a possible Dark man sequel, but if it goes forward, it’s possible that Liam Neeson may actually be interested. The actor was asked last month if he would be interested in returning to Darkman, and he said, “That’s a good question. I would be very interested in reading the script. Very.” The original Dark man the film spawned two sequels that saw Arnold Vosloo take on the role of Liam Neeson. There was also a pilot for one Dark man TV series that were not captured. Would you be interested in a proper one Dark man successor if Sam Raimi and Liam Neeson were involved?
