The Return of Bigfoot is a 2024 American neo-Western action thriller film co-produced and directed by Gareth Edwards, produced by Legendary Pictures, and written by David Twohy, and starring Anne Hathaway, Laurence Fishburne, Tom Hiddleston, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Kenneth Branagh, Bradley Cooper, Michael Caine, and James Badge Dale. Following the events of the first film, widowed hunter Allison Lane and her friends Victor Raymond and Will Carter seek out Bigfoot with the help of new hunters to avenge the murder of her husband, who was killed by Bigfoot in the last film. The film premiered in Los Angeles on February 29th 2024; it was released on March 17th, and it was a financial success upon release like its predecessor, grossing $918 million worldwide. The film received generally positive reviews with critics praising its visual style, soundtrack, ambition, performances (particularly Hathaway’s), action sequences, and the darker tone; many considered it to be a large improvement over the first film, although it was scrutinized for its lack of innovation and its predictable story. It was nominated for numerous Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and Hathaway was awarded a Saturn Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. A sequel, The Fall of Bigfoot — Part One was released two years later, while the final sequel was released on 2028; a spin-off entitled Skunk Ape was released a few months after the third film.
