Gremlins 3 Script Awaits Spielberg, Eyes 2027 Release

A completed script for Gremlins 3, written by Chris Columbus, is awaiting approval from executive producer Steven Spielberg, with Warner Bros. expressing strong interest in moving forward. Actor Zach Galligan confirmed at Comic Con Manchester that Spielberg's sign-off is the final major step before production can begin. The film is planned as a direct sequel rather than a reboot, with an emphasis on practical effects over CGI. If Spielberg grants approval soon, filming could start next year, targeting a 2027 release. Warner Bros. is also collaborating with Amblin on a sequel to The Goonies as part of a strategy to revive classic 1980s franchises. The renewed focus on legacy sequels follows the recent box office success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
