Nick Castle in ‘Halloween Ends’? Original Shape Will Again Have a Michael Myers Cameo
Will Nick Castle be back in this year’s Halloween Ends? Castle of course played “The Shape” in John Carpenter’s original classic, a role he briefly reprised in short cameos for both Halloween (2018) and last year’s Halloween Kills. Castle appeared as Michael in one shot of Halloween (2018), while a similar cameo in Halloween Kills ended up being cut from the film.
The actor underneath the mask throughout the majority of Halloween and Halloween Kills is James Jude Courtney, who will be back in Halloween Ends. And Nick Castle will too!
The Original Shape reveals on Twitter this week that he’ll again make a cameo appearance.
“The talented James Jude Courtney will once again play MM. I’ll have a fun cameo but let’s give credit where credit is due,” Castle tweets, sharing out an article on Halloween Ends.
Filming on Halloween Ends is currently underway, with Jamie Lee Curtis arriving on set this week. If you’d like to see the first Halloween Ends set photos, you can click here,
The final film in David Gordon Green‘s trilogy is dated for October 14, 2022.
Unfortunately, this and other recent articles on the production of Halloween Ends mistakenly think I am playing Michael Myers. The talented James Jude Courtney will once again play MM. I’ll have a fun cameo but let’s give credit where credit is due. https://t.co/redl6QCuwR
