Weapons director Zach Cregger has said that a proposed prequel centred on the character Gladys is being treated “super seriously”. The comments indicate that the film’s creators are considering expanding the horror story, though they do not confirm that the project has been approved or entered production.

Gladys is a significant figure in Weapons, and a prequel could explore her background before the events of the main film. No release date, cast, production timetable or further plot details were announced, so the project remains at an early, uncertain stage.
