*Gizmo finally returned this week in the first teaser for “Gremlins 3,” but the beloved Mogwai brought some disappointing news with him. Warner Bros. has pushed the long-awaited sequel into 2028.
The studio released the brief teaser on Sept. 23, giving audiences their first official glimpse of Gizmo in the upcoming movie. The clip shows him rustling inside a backpack before peeking through its opening. “Uh-oh,” Gizmo says.
His warning leads directly into the movie’s new release date. Warner Bros. now plans to release “Gremlins 3” in theaters on Oct. 6, 2028.
The movie previously held a Nov. 19, 2027, release date. Warner Bros. has not publicly explained why it moved the sequel nearly 11 months later. The Los Angeles Times, via MSN, also reported on the teaser and delay. However, its story lists Oct. 8 rather than the Oct. 6 date shown in Warner Bros.’ teaser.
