An evil little cutie pie has spotted you from across the bar and digs your vibe. Who is the menacing presence with pitch black eyes and a smile to die for? Well, it’s none other than the titular baddie fromThe Jester 2, and today, we’re excited to debut an exclusive image from the film as part ofCollider’s Exclusive Previewevent, during which we’re celebrating the mosteagerly anticipated films of the fall.
The shot in question is a close-up of the goofiest ghoul of them all, as the Jester can be seen flashing his award-winning smile and showing off his truly disgusting set of pearly whites — or, in his case, decaying chompers. Rocking a purple suit as only a creature with his charisma could, the sadistic maniac poses with his head in his hands, which are covered with a pair of white gloves that could use a good bleaching. No Jester look would be complete without some truly heinous makeup, and for this, the titular terror uses a palette of white, red, and black, really leaning into those sharp lines that turnBozointoPogo.
After the terror that was first unleashed in the 2023 movie,The Jester 2will pick up following the events of the original flick and follow the titular maniac on a new killing spree. Out for fresh blood, the Jester finds his newest target in a teen magician who has no idea the kind of trouble she’s in for when she comes face-to-face with the terrifying trickster. With all of her cards on the table, the young woman has just one chance to outsmart her foe and make it out alive.
