Aunt Gladys from Weapons is a newer horror icon that we love deep in our hearts. We found out that she’d get her own prequel film a while ago, and now we know when we will see Amy Madigan reprise the role that got her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Warner Bros. revealed during CinemaCon 2026 that the Weapons prequel film Gladys would release on September 8, 2028.

That feels so far away but good things do take time. Zach Cregger is also a very busy man, and we are willing to wait on his genius.

Right now, it is far too early to tell exactly what time period this film will take place in. And honestly, it does not matter. We will take Gladys chaos in whatever format we can get it.
