Studio quietly shelves the sequel nobody defended
No press release, no statement, just a release date that vanished.
The trailer went up at 9am with no warning and no press embargo, which is usually a sign a studio is either very confident or hoping nobody has time to look closely.
What you get is ninety seconds of montage: a suburban street, a hallway, the mask in three separate shots, and a title card. No dialogue beyond a single line delivered off-screen.
Two shots are worth stopping on. At the thirty-one second mark there is a practical gag, done in camera, and it is the only moment with any weight to it.
None of that is fatal on its own. Trailers get cut before a film is finished, and a first teaser is a marketing document rather than a statement of intent.
