Sarah Michelle Gellar Returns in a New Way for I Know What You Did Last Summer
Despite initially claiming she would never return to the role, Sarah Michelle Gellar has made a surprising appearance in I Know What You Did Last Summer. In the original film, her character, Helen Shivers, dies during a dramatic chase scene at a Fourth of July parade. Now, she appears in a posthumous form, much like Skeet Ulrich’s Billy Loomis in the Scream sequels. As a ghostly figure, Helen haunts the story, adding an eerie layer to the narrative.
In this new installment, Danica, a wealthy girl and former Croaker Queen, becomes intrigued by Helen’s life and death as she investigates the 1997 murders. During a sleepless night at the police station, Danica experiences a terrifying nightmare. In it, Helen stands over her fiancé’s body, holding a hook, and accuses Danica of being responsible for his death and others. The dream ends with blood trickling from Helen’s crown as she delivers a chilling warning about Danica’s fate. As the scene fades, Helen’s face begins to rot before Danica wakes up, shaken and disoriented.
Brandy Makes a Surprise Cameo in the Mid-Credits Scene
Brandy makes a notable appearance in the mid-credits scene of I Know What You Did Last Summer, reprising her role as Karla Wilson. Fans had hoped for a reunion between Karla, Julie, and Ray, especially after the events of the second film. In that movie, Karla was Julie’s best friend and roommate who won a radio contest for a tropical getaway. However, the trip turned into a deadly trap set by Ben Willis’ son, leading to a brutal attack where Karla barely survived. She was left behind on the island while Julie and Ray were rescued, raising questions about her fate ever since.
The recent mid-credits scene suggests that Karla has moved on with her life, now living comfortably with her husband. While watching the news, she learns of Ray’s death and Julie’s survival. A knock on her door reveals Julie standing there, and the two friends embrace. Julie then shows Karla a photo of them with their faces blurred out, accompanied by a note that reads, “It Isn’t Over.” This mysterious message sets the stage for a potential new chapter in the story, with Karla ready to help uncover the truth and fight against the killer.
Will Brandy Return for Another Sequel?
The possibility of another I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel is gaining traction, with Karla and Julie at the center of the action. Fans are eager to see if Brandy will reprise her role, but there are concerns about how the story might unfold. Stevie, who survived the previous killings, could be the next target, possibly seeking revenge for Ray’s death. However, it remains unclear why she would go after Julie and Karla, especially since Karla had no direct involvement in the events that transpired.
Another angle is the possibility of someone connected to the events of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer seeking revenge. The recent spree of violence may have inspired others to join the game, creating new threats for the characters. Whether it’s Stevie, a new antagonist, or an unexpected twist, the next chapter promises to bring more suspense and danger.
For now, fans are waiting to see if a sequel is truly in the works and what it might reveal about the ongoing mystery. With the return of familiar faces and the introduction of new threats, the future of the franchise looks intriguing.
