Of course, the new normal doesn’t mean that Wood and his co-stars have forgotten their roots. As seen in the trailer, Wood’s character gets to loudly, and quite often, declare “Hail Satan!,” echoing the famous words from the climax of Rosemary’s Baby.
“It was pretty awesome,” Wood admits. “When you first utter it out loud in front of a group of people, it feels a little like, ‘Oh fuck, what did I just get to say?’”
“We were both behind the monitor thinking, ‘Oh fuck, what a crazy, crazy choice!” says Gillet of Wood’s delivery. “It was so committed. It was like he’s done this before,” he adds, with a bit of suspicion.
Without missing a beat, Gellar picks up on her director’s sinister suggestion and says: “Well, Elijah and I take our roles very seriously. We did a lot of research.” And then, allowing her own register to turn dark promises, “We’ll tell you about it some time.”
That’s a creepy turn for a conversation that began by invoking Disney movies, but such delightful combinations are a hallmark of a Radio Silence movie and, as Gellar and Wood suggest, the future of the genre.
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come opens in theaters on March 20, 2026.
