Leprechaun Franchise Reboot Gets Disappointing Update 2 Years Later As It Reportedly Loses Its Director

The long-gestating plans for another Leprechaunreboot have been dealt a fresh blow two years after plans for a new movie were first announced. Based on the 1993 hit horror-comedy starring Warwick Davis as the franchise’s titular fae, the Leprechaun franchise would go on to spawn five direct sequels, a previous reboot with WWE star Dylan Postl, and a 2018 revival with Linden Porco. In 2023, it was officially announced that Lionsgate intended to reboot the series for the second time, with Felipe Vargas set to direct the project.
