Celestials: The Origins is a 2024 American superhero film based on Jaxon Harmon's superhero team the Celestials. Produced by RatPac-Dune Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Pictures, it was originally intended to be a sequel to the first film, but after it was renamed, it was released as a prequel. Directed by Tim Story, from a screenplay and story by Joss Whedon, the film stars Timothèe Chalamet, Jamie Bell, Zac Efron, Odeya Rush, Oscar Isaac, Donald Glover, Don Cheadle, and David Harbour. In the film, a power-hungry supervillain manipulates the mascot of Fredbear's Family Diner into causing the bite of '83, not knowing that he would create a vengeful superhero destined to kill him. The mascot, now known as Golden Freddy, allies with a good-hearted animatronic called Shadow Freddy to stop his nemesis and form the Celestials. The Origins was released on August 4th, 2024. It became the second-highest-grossing film of 2024, grossing $546 million worldwide, and received positive reviews from critics, who praised its visual effects, direction, screenplay, action sequences, musical score, Chamelet, Bell, Rush, and Isaac's performances, themes, and faithfulness to the first film. A sequel, taking place after the events of Celestials and this film, is in development.
