Zach Cregger’s Weapons continues to dominate at the box office, but New Line is adding a spark with a new reveal. After months of suspense, the studio has started sharing clips of Aunt Gladys, portrayed by Amy Madigan, including one of her most pivotal scenes.
If you’re among the few yet to experience Weapons, consider this your final spoiler warning.
The highlighted scene isn’t from the film’s climax; those moments remain exclusive to theaters—though they might already be making brief appearances on TikTok. Instead, we get a crucial moment featuring Gladys that unveils the true nature of her character. In this particular scene, she pays an unexpected visit to Marcus (Benedict Wong) and his husband while they’re preparing for a casual afternoon with hot dogs and cookies. Gladys’s bizarre requests make for a chilling encounter that viewers can now revisit.
Though the clip can only be accessed on X (yes, we know), it’s age-restricted, so embedding isn’t an option. You can login here to watch the scene cleverly dubbed by New Line’s social team as “Do you have a bowl of water?” Trust us, that line is just as creepy as it sounds.
When we first meet Gladys, the clip teases a lot of unsettling tension. Although she appears sporadically throughout the film, it’s in the second scene at Marcus’s home where things turn downright terrifying. The scene captures the horror of isolation and manipulation, particularly before things take an even more sinister turn. It is apparent that Gladys is hiding a dark secret, being involved with the kids in ways that become horrifyingly clear.
Weapons is undoubtedly one of the standout films of the year, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you’re missing out. Dive deeper into our content through interviews and analysis linked here.
