We recently found out that Jamie Lee Curtis would reprise the role of Laurie Strode for David Gordon Green and Danny McBride’s Halloween relaunch, and now Deadline reports that Judy Greer (Ant-Man and The Wasp, Where’d You Go Bernadette) is in talks to play Laurie's daughter and Michael Myers' niece, Karen.
No other details about the character were provided, but there's a decent chance Greer could take over as the heroine of the franchise if it does indeed continue after this new instalment.
Josh Hartnett actually played Laurie Strode's son in the underrated Halloween: H20 back in 1998, but it's looking more and more likely that the events of all of the sequels that followed John Carpenters original are being dismissed.
What do you guys think of this news? Do you buy Greer as Lee Curtis' daughter? Sound off below.
