Beneath the Shadows: Killer's Game is a 2027 American action horror film directed by Adam Wingard and written by Zack Snyder and Denis Villeneuve. Produced by The Stone Quarry and RatPac-Dune Entertainment and distributed by Lionsgate Films, it is the sequel to Beneath the Shadows. Anne Hathaway and Piper Rubio reprise their roles as Charlie Wilson and her daughter Dylan, alongside a new cast that includes Eva Green, Mahershala Ali, Tessa Thompson, Christoph Waltz, Michael Keaton, and Willem Dafoe. In the film, Charlie returns to her life as a killer when a new threat emerges. Beneath the Shadows: Killer's Game had its world premiere at the 84th Venice International Film Festival on November 6th, 2027, and was released theatrically on December 10th; it grossed over $816 million worldwide against a $182 million budget, outgrossing Hannibal (2001) as the highest-grossing serial killer film of all time. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the visual style, action sequences, cinematography, storyline, performances (particularly Hathaway, Rubio, and Green), the darker tone, atmosphere, Wingard's direction and Hans Zimmer's musical score, but criticized the overt violence and long runtime of 160 minutes. A sequel is in development.
