We’ve been begging for a sequel to The Collection ever since the follow-up to The Collector was released back in 2012, but despite the sequel tease at the end of the second installment (Arkin collects the Collector!), there’s been no forward momentum on that front these past seven years. Which brings us to tonight, and a tease from franchise star Josh Stewart!
Stewart, who plays the unlikely hero Arkin in the series, took to Twitter tonight to share a poster for The Collector 3, tweeted out with the simple caption: “Lock the door.”
And no, this isn’t just a cruel joke, as we’ve confirmed part 3 is happening!
Stewart’s Arkin was the sole survivor of the Collector’s wrath in the first film, a sinister maniac who’s fond of rigging up elaborate traps and quite literally collecting his victims… dead and alive. Stewart returned for the sequel, taking the fight to the Collector and ultimately defeating him. Presumably, the new film will pick up where The Collection left off.
Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan co-wrote both films, and Dunstan served as director. We can also exclusively tell you that Dunstan is back to direct the third installment!
More as we learn it…
