Here’s whatBradley Fullerhad to say in a recent interview withCollider, where he debunked this rumor.
“I read that too about the first night ofThe Purge. We don’t know anything about that. I read that and I haven’t heard that so I’m not sure what that was. The material that we’re considering right now is not the first night ofThe Purge.”
Last year’sThe Purge: Anarchytook in $71 million domestically and over $110 million worldwide, from just a $9 million production budget. While no cast members have been confirmed yet,The Purge: AnarchystarMichael K.

“Listen, we loved working with him and we thought that he was so good in that role and, you know, if it works to have him back we would really be very excited about that.”
