The new first-look teaser, released at Comic-Con on Thursday, reveals Crystal Creed’s Allison Argent’s shocking return.
Allison Argent, who succumbed to a stab wound at the hands of the Oni’s sword in Season 3 of Teen Wolf, is revealed to be back from the dead. The first teaser for the upcoming film sequel to Teen Wolf showcased the return of the original show’s cast in the Paramount+ original movie. “I wanted to make sure I did the character justice,” creator Jeff Davis said at the Teen Wolf panel, as reported by Variety.
“Having her back was amazing,” he added. “I texted Crystal, ‘We don’t really have a story yet. I mostly have ideas but I always said if I was gonna do a movie, I would bring back Allison.’ She texted back and said that she burst into tears. She was in from that moment.” When asked about what it was like working with Reed again, star Tyler Posey said it was “fuckin’ awesome. We’ve grown up. For Scott, it fuckin’ rocks his world. He doesn’t know what to think,” Posey teased on the panel.
In the series, Allison died at the end of Season 3, after Reed decided to leave the show. Per the report, the teaser reveals that the character is back from the grave under mysterious circumstances. After footage of several characters from the original series struggling against shadowy new enemies, with a bombastic narrator predicting their downfall, the teaser ends with Scott meeting Allison’s father Chris (JR Bourne) in the hospital to inform him that Allison is alive, followed by footage of Reed walking in the rain, equipped with a bow and arrow.
“I told Paramount+ I absolutely can’t do another season, and they said ‘What about a movie?’” Davis said. “I realized we were writing a very long movie because we have 20 main characters. I realized I wrote a short Season 7; we’ll see how much lasts in the final cut.” Davis also noted that more “Teen Wolf” may be coming, as long as the fans support it and sign up for Paramount+, he joked. The teaser features a couple villains that fans know well: The Oni, which are the very things that killed Allison (Reed) in season 3, and perhaps more importantly, the Nogitsune.
The season 3 villain narrates the teaser, which focuses on its desire for retribution. Moreover, the panel, consisting of Davis, Posey and Hoechlin, revealed that that the movie jumps far ahead in time, and Scott is now 50. Scott has left Beacon Hills and is now living in Los Angeles, where he is living a “normal,” “lonely” life. Derek also has a son.
In Teen Wolf: The Movie, “a full moon rises in Beacon Hills and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced.”
The movie sees many main and recurring cast members return to their roles, with Posey being joined by Reed, Roden, Hoechlin, Shelley Hennig, Orny Adams, Linden Ashby, Bourne, Seth Gilliam, Colton Haynes, Ryan Kelley, Melissa Ponzio, Dylan Sprayberry, Khylin Rhambo and Ian Bohen. Dylan O’Brien, who played fan-favorite character Stiles throughout the show’s entire run, will not return to the film Davis, the creator of the original series, wrote and executive produced the film for Paramount+.
