In the end,it was all an illusion inSmile 2for Skye.
This heightened awareness could significantly impact how audiences engage withSmile 3’s story.
InSmile 2, viewers were naturally invested in Skye’s journey because they experienced events through her perspective.
The franchise has now conditioned viewers to anticipate a shocking revelation that completely recontextualizes the film’s events.
The pressure to deliver another twist also risks diminishing the impact ofSmile 3’s genuine scares and character moments.
The public nature of Skye’s death - witnessed by thousands - raises the stakes considerably high.
The success ofSmile 3will ultimately depend on its ability to balance audience expectations with genuine innovation.
The sequel will see the return of Finn as director, with Paramount continuing distribution.
