Babak Anvari Hints at His Involvement in Cloverfield 2 Amid Secrecy

The rumored director of Cloverfield 2, Babak Anvari, recently addressed the project in a cryptic manner during an interview at SXSW. Known for his work on ‘Under the Shadow,’ Anvari was announced to be attached to the Cloverfield sequel in 2022 with a script by Joe Barton. However, few updates have emerged since. When asked about his involvement, Anvari humorously referenced the intense secrecy surrounding the franchise, implying that he could not share any details. Despite this, his careful avoidance of the question suggests he may still be involved. Cloverfield 2 is said to be a direct sequel to the 2008 found footage monster film, unlike the loosely connected spinoffs that followed. The franchise is known for its secretive marketing tactics, which have included viral campaigns and last-minute release announcements, making Anvari’s silence unsurprising. As of now, no other projects involving Anvari have been announced, fueling speculation that Cloverfield 2 remains in development.
