The Jordan Peele producedCandymanreboot , from conductor Nia DaCosta , is one of horror fans ' most extremely - anticipated repugnance moving-picture show of 2020 , but so far , there ’s no sign of a lagger release .
Building off a legacy that commence in 1992 from director Bernard Rose , the narrative of Candyman - whose existent name is Daniel Robitaille - enchanted audiences with gothic horror tropes and dark wild-eyed phantasy that stanch from a story by Clive Barker ( Hellraiser ) .

When Could Candyman 2020’s Trailer Release?
It ’s coarse for horror moving-picture show trailers to discharge with others in theater . reach that 2020 has some unbelievable movie on the path , even early in the class , there is ample opportunity forCandymanto launch its dawdler . late news from Bloody Disgustingpoints to a luck thatCandymancould eject a trailer to coincide withThe Invisible Man , which release February 28th . right on now , this seems to be the most potential hypothesis , but there are alternatives .
Most flick seem to be on the two or three month before release marker for house trailer in recent trends , withA Quiet Place2 ’s first trailerhaving drop on January 1 , 2020 . However , this is n’t whole solid , asSpiral : From The Book of Sawreleased its first trailerin February , three months prior to liberate . If there ’s a two month confidential information for publicity , another choice might beAntlers , which is produced by Guillermo del Toro , a fabled horror director with whom Peele went toe - to - toe with for Oscars glory withGet OutandThe Shape of Waterin the 2018 awards time of year . Antlershas been given an R rating , and its April 17th discharge date seems like a better fit forCandyman ’s prevue , as it ’s nearly two months prior .
Of course , if Peele and DaCosta are really wanting to keep their closed book until the last possible moment , a final pick would be to release with the newSawmovie , asSpiralhits field on May 15th , barely a month beforeCandyman2020 will secrete . While it certainly would intend a much longer look for fan , with trailers ' tendency to release too many key details , as was insure with thefinal trailer for Leigh Whannell’sThe Invisible Man , perhaps waiting is well than being fumble too soon .
