Secondary reports say Fede Álvarez told a Beyond Fest audience that Don’t Breathe 3 has a screenplay and that Jane Levy and Stephen Lang would return. Red Reactions summarized the reported announcement and its limits, while an IMDb news page excerpting TheWrap’s report reproduces Álvarez as saying, “There’s a screenplay for ‘Don’t Breathe 3.’ Jane will be back and Slang, (Stephen Lang), will be back,”.
The reports tie those remarks to a 10th-anniversary screening of the original film at Beyond Fest and the Q&A that followed. As Red Reactions notes, Beyond Fest’s schedule listed the screening and a Q&A with Álvarez, co-writer Rodo Sayagues and cast members. Based on the available evidence, this is a reported live-event announcement from Álvarez, not a studio release notice.
What the reports actually establish
The key limitation is the source chain. The current evidence supports reports about Álvarez’s remarks, not an independent Sony production announcement. Red Reactions says Sony has not announced a release date, filming schedule or director for the third film.
So the reported development is fairly specific: Álvarez was said to have told the audience that a screenplay exists, and he named Levy and Lang as returning. The supplied evidence does not establish when production might begin, whether Álvarez would direct, or what the story would be.
It also does not support a broader casting announcement beyond the two actors Álvarez reportedly named. A screenplay existing is not the same thing as a production start, a release date or a full cast rollout.
Why Jane Levy’s name stands out in the reaction
An X post reacting to the news called it “the direct sequel we actually wanted” and said it was ready to see the series “finally address the consequences of the original film.” That is fan reaction, not plot information, but it helps explain why Levy’s reported return is drawing attention.
For readers who bounced off the second movie, that reaction points to the appeal of this reported setup: not just a third film, but one that Álvarez reportedly said would include Levy alongside Lang.
For now, though, the practical update remains narrow. Reports say Álvarez announced a Don’t Breathe 3 screenplay and said Levy and Lang would return. Sony has not announced a release date, filming schedule or director, and Álvarez did not reveal a plot in the reporting cited here.
