As “Weapons” breakout character Aunt Gladys’ story continues with a highly-anticipated prequel movie, Zach Shields (“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”) has been tapped to co-write the screenplay alongside filmmaker Zach Cregger.

“Gladys” is the working title for the New Line and Warner Bros. movie, which has been in the works for months following the horror movie’s breakout box office and critical success. “Weapons” grossed a staggering $270 million worldwide and earned star Amy Madigan the best supporting actress Oscar for her performance as the devilishly deranged character. (Madigan also won SAG-AFTRA’s Actor Award and the Critics Choice Award for supporting actress and was nominated for a Golden Globe, among other prizes.)
