But who plays Myers in the 2021 revival, “Halloween Kills”? It is again James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers for the consecutive time.

How is Halloween Kills Compared to Others?
The 12th and the latest addition to the Halloween film family. The release of Halloween Kills in 2021 raised the bar for horror movies much higher. Halloween Kills is bloodier & scarier than ever before. And Michael Myers is in on his killing spree yet again! As if the people of Haddonfield, Illinois, didn’t suffer enough, Myers is back to terrorize them.
In this part, ‘The Shape’ mass murders in the most grotesque way possible. Whether it’s fists & punches or chain saws & knives, it’s got it all. And according to theory, Myers becomes powerful with each murder. So, if that’s the case, then Myer’s power is ultimate right now. The ending scene of the movie shows powerful imagery of that. Which is Myers looking over the world as his prey, ready for his next hunt. A spine-chilling movement of the film!
Is There Another Sequel to The Halloween Film Series?
Yes, One last series that will be the ultimate end! Sticking to the Halloween spirit, the final movie ‘Halloween Ends’ is set to release on the 14th of October this year. Fans are not surprised since the announcement for this film took place back in 2018. But after many delays due to Covid, the movie is now baked and ready to serve.
So, what can fans expect from the final movie? Just more chaos, destruction & murders. But hopefully, with little positivity on the side. Michael Myers should get the Karma for his actions, and probably this will be another ‘good over evil’ story. But also, who plays Michael Myers in the last part? We must wait and watch!
