Actor Jessica Rothe, who starred as Theresa "Tree" Gelbman in 2017's Happy Death Day and its sequel, 2019's Happy Death Day 2U, said that she'd like to see her character and Kathryn Newton’s Butcher from Freaky in a face-off.
In a recent interview with THR, Rothe first praised Newton's performance as the Butcher. "I was so lucky to get to see it on opening weekend, and it has such fun, wild performances from both Kathryn and Vince [Vaughn]," the actor said. "It totally needs to be a showdown of Tree versus Millie. And maybe Vince can make a cameo as a scream queen because he gave us scream queens a run for our money."
Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2U were both directed by Christopher Landon, who would go on to write and direct Freaky. Both Happy Death Day films, as well as Freaky, are horror-comedies that received high praise from both critics and audience members. Additionally, Landon himself has confirmed that all the films share a universe.
Freaky was released on Nov. 13, 2020 in the United States and told the story of an average teenage girl that switches bodies with a middle-aged serial killer dubbed "The Butcher."
Freaky is co-written by Michael Kennedy and Christopher Landon, with Landon also directing the horror-comedy. Starring Vince Vaughn, Kathryn Newton, Celeste O'Connor, Misha Osherovich, Katie Finneran, Uriah Shelton, Dana Drori and Alan Ruck, Freaky is currently in theaters nationwide and available on VOD.
