What Did Jon Watts Reveal About Final Destination: Bloodlines 2?

Jon Watts, the man who brought Spider-Man swinging back into the MCU spotlight, is not done scaring people just yet. He recently dropped some fresh hints about the next chapter for Final Destination. If you loved Bloodlines, there’s more to get excited about.

Watts was a producer on Final Destination: Bloodlines, which turned out to be a surprise hit for horror fans. It landed in theaters on May 16, 2025, and fans jumped back into that familiar, terrifying world where Death never really loses.

Is There Really A Sequel Coming?

At the Mediterranean Film Festival, Watts shared that he’s always got one eye open for Final Destination moments. “Everywhere I am, I’m looking around for new Final Destination scenarios,” he said. It’s kind of fun to imagine the guy who directed Spider-Man: No Way Home sitting at a café and suddenly scribbling down ways a rogue ceiling fan could unleash chaos.

He admitted he hasn’t had any official talks with New Line Cinema yet. But with the last movie pulling in huge numbers, it seems pretty likely the studio wants more. Watts said it himself — everyone had a good time making Bloodlines. And when a movie makes almost $300 million, nobody wants to leave that cash on the table.

What Made Bloodlines Such A Hit?

Bloodlines is the sixth movie in the franchise. And somehow, it still managed to keep people glued to their seats. Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, the film had just the right mix of old-school Final Destination suspense and fresh, nasty surprises.

It didn’t just make money. It earned respect too. Critics gave it a 92 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans gave it 87 percent. That’s rare for a horror sequel that’s this deep into a franchise.

Part of its success might be how Watts came on board. Turns out, he got the gig because his wife, Dianne McGunigle, knew the right people at New Line Cinema. When they needed someone who truly got the franchise, she pitched her husband. Next thing you know, Watts is mapping out creative ways for Death to strike again.
