‘Halloween Ends’: Actor Michael O’Leary Reveals He’ll Be Playing a Character Who Was Mentioned in ‘Halloween Kills’
The final film in David Gordon Green‘s trilogy, Halloween Ends is currently dated for October 14, 2022, which means filming is going to have to begin… well, really, really soon.
From what we gather, on that note, filming is set to begin here in January 2022 on the new movie, which has seemingly been confirmed by one of the film’s actors this week.
Michael O’Leary from “Law & Order: Organized Crime” reveals on Twitter this week that his “official first day” on the movie is January 27, which lines up with other info we’ve heard.
Additionally, O’Leary reveals on his personal account that he’ll be playing a character named “Doctor Mathis” in Halloween Ends, who was briefly mentioned in Halloween Kills.
David Gordon Green has recently teased that there will be a four-year time jump from the events of Kills to the events of Ends, and Kyle Richards will be back as Lindsey Wallace.
We’ll have more on Halloween Ends soon. Stay tuned. In the meantime, you can stream a four-hour breakdown on this past October’s Halloween Kills by our very own Halloweenies podcast. Catch it after the tweet.
