The Purge 6 gets an exciting update from Frank Grillo, one of the stars of the series. Created by experienced filmmaker James DeMonaco, this dystopian horror franchise is among the most popular horror series of the 21st century. It explores the effects of the annual event called “The Purge,” where all crime is legal for 12 hours. After five successful movies that have made over $533 million worldwide, The Purge 6 is expected to be the final film in the series.
The Purge 6 Is Confirmed
Frank Grillo says The Purge 6 will be the last movie in the long-running dystopian horror series, although he knows fans might not believe it. In a new interview with Screen Rant, the Marvel actor mentioned that the script for the sixth movie is complete. It will center on his character, Leo Barnes, who first appeared in The Purge: Anarchy and was also returned to The Purge: Election Year. Grillo also confirmed that the final installment will be directed by James DeMonaco.
“The script is done. It basically centers around Leo Barnes, my character. It would be the last of the last of the last, it’s like the guy who keeps retiring. James DeMonaco is going to direct it, if it happens, and it’s a matter of money. It’s a matter of how big they want the movie to be, how much money they want to spend on the movie, considering they’ve done a lot in this franchise. But it’s a great script .”
James DeMonaco has written every Purge movie so far but only directed the first three. Gerard McMurray directed The First Purge (2018), and Everardo Gout directed The Forever Purge (2021), which was initially called the last installment. If The Purge 6 is indeed the final film, it makes sense that DeMonaco, as the creator, would want to direct it himself to ensure it concludes with a strong finish.
The Cast
While the cast of the Purge films often changes from one movie to the next, Frank Grillo’s character, Leo Barnes, has remained a constant presence in several films. Although there were rumors that Grillo might come back for The Purge 6, it’s now official that he will be returning as Leo Barnes in what is expected to be the last film in the series. Apart from Grillo, no other actors have been confirmed, and it’s uncertain if any other familiar faces will make a comeback.
What Is The Purge 6 Going To Be About?
DeMonaco unveiled that the film would depict a nightmarish rendition of America. Following The Forever Purge, where many citizens made the Purge an ongoing event, the United States plunged into chaos. The forthcoming movie will delve deeper into the consequences of this nationwide turmoil. DeMonaco also mentioned that the states would be sharply divided, with ideologies, sexual orientations, and religions determining the landscape of the country.
Purge 6 Release date
The release date for The Purge 6 has not been announced yet. However, there’s a possibility it might hit theaters in late 2025 or 2026 as filming has not yet commenced. With the script already finished, production is likely to kick off soon.
