Stephen Lang has starred in both Don’t Breathe entries, and despite having to get into a pretty dark mindset for the role, he plans to have fun when it comes to the third film.

Speaking to ComingSoon in a recent interview, Lang was asked about getting into the role of The Blind Man. Lang said that it isn’t a place he wants to spend a lot time in, it is interesting, before teasing a third film in the series.
“Well, it depends on the role,” Lang said. “I find with the sequels you’re talking about, Don’t Breathe. It’s not difficult for me to open the door into the Blind Man’s brain, you know? It’s not a place I want to spend a huge amount of time [laughs] unless that’s what I’m doing, and when I’m doing it, when I’m in the Blind Man, it’s a very interesting place to be. I’ve enjoyed, if that’s the right word, but I guess it is, I enjoyed filming Don’t Breathe and Don’t Breathe 2 very, very much. Just as I plan to enjoy filming Don’t Breathe 3.”
The mention of a third Don’t Breathe comes as a bit of a shock, as no official third film has been announced as of yet. However, due to the first film’s massive success and the similar success of the second film, it wouldn’t be too shocking to see a third entry make its way to theaters at some point.

Don’t Breathe 2 premiered in August 2021 and saw a much more different story play out, with Lang’s character acting as more of a heroic figure than in the original Don’t Breathe. While that decision received mixed reviews, it still performed well at the box office.
