It had been rumored that original Halloween character Tommy Doyle would be making a return in next year’s Halloween Kills, and we’ve learned today that the rumor is true.
Variety reports that 90s icon Anthony Michael Hall (The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Edward Scissorhands, Bodied) will be playing Tommy Doyle in the new film!
Tommy Doyle was first played by Brian Andrews in the original, one of the children Laurie babysits. Paul Rudd later played the character in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.
Halloween 6, of course, isn’t part of this particular timeline, so the Tommy Doyle of Halloween Kills has only had a run-in with Michael Myers as a child. Presumably, he’ll be reuniting with Laurie Strode (a returning Jamie Lee Curtis) to help take out Michael once and for all.
David Gordon Green co-wrote the Halloween Kills script with Danny McBride and Scott Teems, and he will be returning to direct. He’ll also be directing 2021’s Halloween Ends.
Halloween Kills will arrive in theaters on October 16, 2020.
