Reports have been making it’s rounds around the internet that Tony Todd would be replaced by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the upcoming Candyman reboot. But it turns out to be fake news. The film’s producer, Nia DaCosta says this: 
“Well, it’s been slightly misreported. I can’t say what’s happening in the film because we want it to be a surprise, but he’s not replacing Tony Todd. That’s been reported, and I was just like, ‘I don’t know what to say about this. This is not right.’”

The Candyman remake is being written by Jordan Peele and Win Rosenfeld for a June 2020 release.
