Candyman's Tony Todd Won't Return for Final Destination 6
Tony Todd, the star of the Final Destination and Candyman horror franchises, has confirmed that he will not be returning for the upcoming sixth installment of the Final Destination series. In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Todd revealed that he had been approached to reprise his role as the iconic死神, but ultimately decided to pass on the opportunity. "I was approached about it, but it just didn't work out scheduling-wise," Todd said. "I'm doing a lot of other things right now, and I just couldn't make it work."
Todd's absence from Final Destination 6 is a major blow to the franchise, as he has been one of its most recognizable and beloved characters. However, the filmmakers have assured fans that the sixth installment will still be a worthy addition to the series, and that they are excited to bring a new vision to the franchise. "We're really excited about this new chapter in the Final Destination franchise," said director David Ellis. "We have a great script, and we're confident that fans will be thrilled with the new film."
Final Destination 6 is scheduled to be released in theaters on August 26, 2023. The film will follow a group of college students who cheat death after a near-plane crash, only to be pursued by a vengeful死神. The cast includes Dave Franco, Tony Todd, and Devon Sawa.
