Only a few seconds were enough to wake up one of the most famous creatures in fantasy cinema. Warner Bros. in fact he just revealed the first preview of Goblins 3almost four decades later Gremlins 2: The Next Generation. A small glimpse, but explicit enough to confirm Gizmo’s return to the big screen.
Gizmo finally comes out of hiding
The teaser shows the famous Mogwai hidden in a backpack. After some worrying movements, Gizmo pokes his head through the opening before letting out a small “Uh-oh.” More eerie laughter is then heard, suggesting that their much less friendly cousins ​​are obviously not far away.
Therefore, Warner is essentially betting on nostalgia, without revealing the slightest plot element or presenting the casting. The study had made official Goblins 3 end of 2025, after years of rumors and aborted projects.
Chris Columbus at the helm, Spielberg still present
The film will be directed and produced by Chris Colonscreenwriter of gremlins original from 1984 and director in particular of Mom, I missed the plane! and the first two harry potter. Steven Spielberg returns as executive producer. Hannah Marks is working on the script from a first draft written by Columbus, Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein.
The project had already resurfaced in 2025 when Zach Galligan mentioned a finished scenario, which was then awaiting Spielberg’s approval.
An extended wait until 2028
The trailer, however, provides a little less good information: initially scheduled for November 2027, Goblins 3 will finally be released October 6, 2028 in the cinema. No official synopsis or the return of the historical actors has yet been announced. But the choice of a Gizmo very close to his original appearance already suggests the desire to follow in the footsteps of the first two cult films.
