Aubrey Plaza stars as a single mother who buys her son Andy a Buddi doll, unaware of its more sinister nature. Chucky, the doll, is voiced by Mark Hamill, who says of his new role, “I can’t wait to bring such an iconic character to life, and present him in a way you’ve never seen before.”
Also appearing are Brian Tyree Henry as the cop on the trail of the miniature murderer and Tim Matheson, as the founder of the Kaslan Corporation, which produces the Buddi dolls. The new poster is above, and the new trailer below.
