Chucky’s Toy Story killing spree continues on new Child’s Play poster

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

The CHILD'S PLAY remake is coming to theatres on the same day as TOY STORY 4, so the CHILD'S PLAY marketing team has playfully been releasing a series of posters that imply horror icon Chucky is killing TOY STORY characters one-by-one. Woody, dead. Slinky Dog, dead. And how could they release a series of posters like this without also killing off Buzz Lightyear?

They couldn't. As seen below, Chucky has murdered Buzz.

Unfortunately, the new CHILD'S PLAY isn't actually about Chucky killing TOY STORY characters. Directed by Lars Klevberg from a script by Tyler Burton Smith, this one has the same set-up as the original film: 

A mother gives her son a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of its more sinister nature.

Aubrey Plaza and Gabriel Bateman play the mother and son. They're joined in the cast by Brian Tyree Henry, Tim Matheson, Beatrice Kitsos, Ty Consiglio, and Carlease Burke. Mark Hamill is providing the voice of Chucky this time around.

Produced by David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith through their company KatzSmith Productions, the new CHILD'S PLAY is being released by MGM subsidiary Orion Pictures through their United Artists Releasing banner.

CHILD'S PLAY and TOY STORY 4 are both set to be released on June 21st.
