Zach Cregger has stepped back from Gladys, the intended prequel to Weapons. He had been involved in shaping the story, but the writing duties will now be handled by Zach Shields. Cregger will still serve as a producer on Gladys, collaborating with Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee and Miri Yoon.
The prequel follows Aunt Gladys as its central figure, extending the storyline established by Weapons. Amy Madigan resumes the role of Aunt Gladys, underscoring the character’s importance to the new project.
Warner Bros. has earmarked a September 8, 2028, theatrical launch for Gladys. The change in who writes does not affect the main cast and producers, with Shields writing and Cregger remaining a producer, alongside the Vertigo team as development proceeds toward the 2028 release.
