Actress Virginia Madsen recently revealed that a Candyman prequel was discussed before the tragic death of her co-star Tony Todd. The pair starred in the 1992 horror film Candyman, directed by Bernard Rose, where Todd played the vengeful spirit behind the Candyman legend and Madsen portrayed the researcher. Madsen paid tribute to Todd, remembering him as a gentle soul and a poetic man with a deep knowledge of the arts. She also mentioned that discussions had taken place about furthering their characters’ story in a prequel using de-aging technology, allowing them to tell the tale of how their love began.
Madsen and Todd briefly revisited their characters in a cameo in the 2021 Candyman reboot directed by Nia DaCosta and produced by Jordan Peele. In a joint interview in 2022, the pair expressed frustration over romantic moments that were cut from the original movie, including a dance sequence that was deemed too intimate. Todd remarked that Candyman was a part of his legacy, and he was proud to have been a part of it for 30 years. Madsen also remembered the chemistry between them and the romantic aspects of the characters that were not fully explored in the original film. The pair praised the film’s enduring legacy and expressed their gratitude for being a part of it.
