Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3: Release date, cast details and more

The upcoming film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 is still shrouded in secrecy regarding its release date and cast details. Here’s a quick rundown of what we know so far:

The Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey film series began after the original 1926 book entered the public domain in January 2022. This change in copyright status allowed Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios to reimagine Winnie the Pooh and his friends in a new, horror-themed direction.

In the first movie, Christopher Robin, having left his anthropomorphic friends behind for a more conventional life, finds that Winnie the Pooh and Piglet have become feral and menacing. The horror elements come to the forefront as the characters delve into dark, twisted scenarios.

The second film continues the horror saga with Christopher Robin being accused of murder amidst the chaos unleashed by Pooh and Piglet’s rampage. He must navigate this grim universe to clear his name.

As for the third installment, details on its release and the cast remain undisclosed, but fans of the series will likely see more of the dark and twisted take on the beloved characters.

Variety has confirmed that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 is officially in development, though the release date remains unannounced. Alongside this, Jagged Edge Productions is working on a unique crossover event titled Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble. This film is set to feature darker, horror-themed versions of various beloved characters, including Bambi, Tinkerbell, and Pinocchio, similar to an Avengers: Infinity War-style crossover, albeit on a lower budget.

As of now, it’s uncertain whether Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble will hit theaters before or after Blood and Honey 3. However, the Instagram account for Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble has teased that filming is scheduled to start in early 2025. Given the rapid production timeline of the first two Blood and Honey films, if Poohniverse begins shooting as planned, it might see a release later in 2025.

This timeline suggests that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 might be released in 2026, especially if Poohniverse and other films from the Twisted Childhood Universe make their debut in 2025.

The Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey films present a unique case in casting, with many characters, including the protagonist Christopher Robin, being played by different actors in each film.

Here’s what we know about the potential cast for Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3:

• Winnie the Pooh: Despite being decapitated at the end of the last film, horror movies often resurrect characters, so Pooh is expected to make a return.
• Tigger
• Piglet
• Owl
• Christopher Robin
• Bunny

Most of these animal characters should return, although it’s uncertain who will play them due to the frequent casting changes.

1. Increased Budget: Thanks to the financial success of the first two films, the budget for this third installment will be significantly higher. This suggests an expansion in scope and production quality.
2. New Characters: The film will introduce new characters from the Winnie the Pooh universe, including Rabbit, the Heffalumps, and the Woozles. These characters are expected to follow the same dark, murderous path as their predecessors.
3. Potential Crossovers: There’s a possibility that characters from the Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble crossover event might appear in Blood and Honey 3. This would depend on the release schedule of both films and how the crossover movie fares.

Overall, Blood and Honey 3 promises to build on the established success of the series while expanding its horror elements and introducing new characters.
