And as the feature moves between developments at a zippy pace, it leaves us with a few moments that had many filmgoers scratching their heads. Fortunately, in a recent Q&A, co-director Joe Russo provided answers to some of the fans’ most pressing questions, and since we’re going to be delving into one of those responses right here, be warned that spoilers lie ahead.
Even by the standards of horror remakes, Lars Klevberg’s Child’s Play has been the subject of a fair amount of backlash from longtime fans.
