The 2021 Candyman reboot features some terrific performances from its cast, including a memorable supporting turn by Rodney L. Jones III.
The 2021 reboot of the classic horror movie Candyman was smartly written, carefully directed, and powerfully acted, including a memorable supporting turn by Rodney L. Jones III. Acting as a direct sequel to the original 1992 movie, 2021’s Candyman revolves around an artist whose latest piece, inspired by the eponymous urban legend, ends up reawakening some sinister spirits.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The supporting cast of the Candyman reboot features such terrific actors as Vanessa Williams, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, and Tony Todd reprising his iconic role as the original Candyman. Virginia Madsen also appears in her role from the original movie – Helen Lyle, the first to reawaken the Candyman – but unlike Todd, she didn’t shoot any new footage; she only appears archivally.
The Candyman reboot expanded the mythology to include a long line of Candymen in addition to Daniel Robitaille from the original film. Like Robitaille and Sherman Fields, all of these Candymen are Black men who were killed in an act of racially charged violence. In the opening sequence, Billy plays a crucial role as the audience surrogate who stumbles upon the horrifying scene of Sherman’s murder. Jones captures the look of true terror on Billy’s face as he helplessly watches the killing.
The Older Billy Is Played By Colman Domingo Colman Domingo, best known as Ali from Euphoria and Victor Strand in Fear the Walking Dead, plays the older version of William who, in the present day, owns and operates a laundromat. William introduces artist Anthony McCoy to the Candyman legend, which inspires the art piece that brings the Candyman back.
