🎥 Gremlins 3 Movie: Script Written, Awaiting Spielberg Approval – Says Zach Galligan
If you’re a fan of mischievous little monsters and nostalgic horror-comedy, then you’re going to love what’s brewing. During our visit to Comic Con Manchester 25, we caught an exciting moment that has since gone viral on TikTok — a candid chat with Zach Galligan, the original Billy Peltzer from Gremlins (1984) and Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990).
In the video, Zach dropped a bombshell that has ignited the internet:

🗣️ “The script for Gremlins 3 is written — we’re just waiting on Steven Spielberg to give it the green light.”
Yes, you read that right. The long-rumoured Gremlins 3 is real, and it’s now one step away from moving into production.
👀 Fans Go Wild for the Return of Gizmo
Our TikTok clip of Zach’s comment quickly blew up, racking up thousands of views, shares, and excited comments. Clearly, fans are ready for more chaos from the cuddly-yet-deadly world of Gremlins. But this time around, everyone has an opinion on how it should be done.
One of the loudest — and most passionate — requests?
Keep the Gremlins practical. No CGI.
Many commenters are demanding that the film stay true to its roots with puppetry and animatronics, like the original two movies. Fans still fondly remember the expressive, hand-made Gremlins that helped define 80s creature-feature charm. In an era filled with slick digital effects, there’s a real hunger for something that feels tangible and authentic.
“No CGI or I’m out.”
“It HAS to be practical — that’s what made it magic.”
🩸 Should Gremlins 3 Go Full Horror?
Another trending theme in the comments: fans want this sequel to lean into its darker side.
While the original Gremlins walked the line between horror and comedy (and even earned the PG-13 rating system its existence), many fans are calling for Gremlins 3 to push boundaries — with some even suggesting an 18+ rating to allow for more gore, scares, and creature carnage.
“Let’s make it a proper horror movie this time.”
“Go full 80s slasher vibes with it. I want Gremlins tearing the place up!”
It’s clear that a new generation of horror fans is eager for Gremlins to evolve into something that matches today’s appetite for fear and blood — all while retaining the charm and wit of the original films.
🎬 What Happens Next?
At the moment, it’s all in Spielberg’s hands. As executive producer of the franchise, his approval is the final puzzle piece before this long-anticipated sequel can move forward.
Galligan didn’t drop plot details, but he hinted that the movie will respect the legacy of the original films while doing something fresh for modern audiences. Whether that means a continuation of Billy’s story, a next-generation plot, or a full franchise reboot is still under wraps.
🎄 One Last Thing…
As buzz around the sequel grows, one question refuses to die:
Is Gremlins a Christmas movie? 🎅🏻🎁👹
It’s set at Christmas. It has snow, carols, presents, and family themes… and yet, Gremlins wreak havoc all over town. A beloved holiday horror classic or just a movie that happens during Christmas? You decide.
Let us know what you want to see in Gremlins 3 — and most importantly:
CGI or practical effects? Comedy or full horror? And… Christmas movie, yes or no? 👇
