In a recent THR article, Nicolas Cage briefly touched on playing the titular character Longlegs again in the new sequel.
“I guess you could say I have the pride of ownership of that character. That character is personal to me because I was influenced by my mom — not that my mom was crazy like that, she wasn’t satanic, but I don’t want someone else playing my mom, so if they’re gonna do it, you’re doing it with me.”
