Collider's Exclusive Preview event takes a sinister turn with a chilling first look at 'The Jester 2', the highly anticipated sequel to the breakout 2023 horror hit.

The image debut showcases the iconic villain in all his grotesque glory, teasing the terror audiences can expect when the film hits theatres this fall.

What Does 'The Jester 2' Look Reveal?

The exclusive still features a close-up of the Jester in his signature twisted look. Dressed in a vibrant purple suit and donning makeup in stark white, blood-red, and deep black, his appearance walks the line between clownish and nightmarish. His white gloves, in desperate need of cleaning, frame his decaying grin as he poses with unsettling charisma. Every detail — from the sharp facial paint to his eerie expression — reminds viewers why this character has quickly become a modern horror icon.

Picking up after the bloody events of the original film, 'The Jester 2' follows the demonic figure as he embarks on a brand-new killing spree. This time, his unfortunate target is a teenage magician who unknowingly crosses his path. With her wits as her only defence, she must attempt to outplay the trickster in a deadly game of illusions — or risk becoming his next gruesome act.
