Smile 2 leaves the franchise in a position to replace Skye Riley in Smile 3and there’s a brilliant option introduced in the sequel that would make for one of its big twists. At the time that Smile 2As Parker Finn’s finale arrives, the Parker Finn movie has some major surprises. The ending continued the film’s trend of killing off the main character, when Skye Riley dies on stage at her Smile Curse concert. That comes later Smile 2It’s a twist that so much of the film took place in Skye’s head – including every interaction Naomi Scott’s character had with her former best friend Gemma (Dylan Gelula).
The decision to have Smile 2 ending with Skye’s death is a vital moment when it comes to setting up Smile 3. The curse now has a path to infect hundreds or thousands of victims at once. This is important for Smile 3as it means that anyone who attends the show will be the initial target of the curse. There are a few different characters introduced in the film that could continue and have a role in the third part, just like Joel returned to Smile 2. However, one character must return to replace Skye as the protagonist of the trio.
Gemma could be the protagonist of Smile 3 after the end of Smile 2
She could become the next target of the curse
Gemma is a fantastic choice to lead Smile 3 after Skye’s death in Smile 2. This could be done in several different ways. While Skye’s death may have been caught on camera, Gemma watching it after the fact apparently wouldn’t transfer the curse to her based on previous evidence. This means that the simplest explanation would be that Gemma could go on the show to support her ex-best friend after potentially becoming worried for his well-being after countless strange messages. If Gemma was one of the witnesses to Skye’s death, the curse could haunt her next.
The other option for Gemma to become the next target of the Smile Curse is for her to contact someone who becomes the target first. One option would be for Gemma to visit Skye’s mother, who could carry the curse and pass it on to Gemma after her own death. This would continue the tragic series of events and would be a more complicated path for Gemma to take. Smile 3main character. It would be much easier for the sequel to just reveal that she came to the show if this is the direction the franchise takes to replace Skye.
Gemma being the leader of Smile 3 could change her and Skye 2’s roles
Gemma Twist from Smile 2 can be reversed
There is a fun possibility that would come with Smile 3 making Gemma the protagonist, reversing her and Skye’s roles. Gemma’s big comeback Smile 2 the fact that all of her scenes were part of the Smile Curse’s plan to manipulate Skye’s mind completely changed the context of her role. Instead of being a friend who came to help Skye, she was a pawn of the curse and was eventually used to torture and haunt the pop star. This was a devastating realization for Skye in the end, but Smile 3 they could reverse their roles then.
Instead of Gemma being a pawn used by the curse to haunt Skye, Scott’s character would become Gelula’s. Smile 3 would certainly make the entity take the form of Skye at least once to torment Gemma and remind her of the brutal death she witnessed. This would leave the third film in a place where Gemma would be the protagonist fighting for her survival, while Skye would be presented only as a form that the Smiler takes to bring about his imminent destruction and frightening past.
Smile 3 focusing on Gemma could help explain the fight between her and Skye
One of Smile 2’s big questions could be answered
There is also another benefit to the connectivity and history of the franchise in having Gemma as the leader of Smile 3. Your role in Smile 2 is tied to the vague explanation that she and Skye used to be best friends before something happened and destroyed their friendship. The details about what happened between Skye and Gemma in Smile 2 are missing, leaving viewers wondering why the world-famous pop star no longer had her best friend by her side. Skye’s death closes the door on one option for that answer.
However, if Gemma returns in Smile 3her and Skye’s fight could be fully explored. The fact that she deals with the grief associated with Skye’s death would be reason enough for the film to delve deeper into her past and the nature of their relationship. Furthermore, the fact that the curse can extract information about their relationship from their time connected to each of their minds would give her the chance to lead these conversations while haunting Gemma with Skye’s image. Now Smile 3 just need to get Gemma back later Smile 2 to make this possible.
