The Bear and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem star Ayo Edebiri has a major career jump in mind.

Speaking to Collider prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Edebiri spoke about wanting to make a horror movie. “I feel like people have fun on the Chucky movies. I just feel that's a fun set. I would do that,” she revealed. “Or I would do like a Saw movie and really just get something freaky [to] happen to me… or a Final Destination reboot.”

She named three iconic horror franchises, all of which could benefit from a star like Edebiri being in them. The last Chucky film was the 2019 reboot with Aubrey Plaza. There's currently a TV series airing on USA Network, but as of now, there aren't any more Child's Play films in the works.

There is, however, another Saw film coming out: Saw X. It is a direct sequel to the first film and takes place between the first and second installments. The last film series she mentioned, the Final Destination franchise, will return at some point with a sixth installment. Perhaps if it's successful, we could see Edebiri make her way into the series.
