We had the chance to chat with “Black Phone 2” star Madeleine McGraw (“M3GAN,” “Ant-Man“) about stepping up her role in the film, the toughest parts of shooting, and what she’d like to do next.
Interview contains mild spoilers.
More about “Black Phone 2“:
Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn (“Percy Jackson” star Mason Thames) killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber. But true evil transcends death … and the phone is ringing again. Four-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke returns to the most sinister role of his career as The Grabber seeks vengeance on Finn from beyond the grave by menacing Finn’s younger sister, Gwen (McGraw).
As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake.
Determined to solve the mystery and end the torment for both her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to visit the camp during a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber and her own family’s history. Together, she and Finn must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and more significant to them than either could imagine.
Scott Derrickson returns to direct from a script he co-wrote with C. Robert Cargill.
