Don’t Breathestar Stephen Lang expresses his hopes of returning to his chilling role as the Blind Man in a potential third installment. The horror franchise debuted in 2016, introducing audiences to Lang’s terrifying Norman Nordstrom, a blind former U.S. Navy SEAL with lethal survival skills. The first film was a surprise hit, earning $157 million worldwide against a $9.9 million budget and receiving praise for its intense, suspenseful narrative. Don’t Breathe 2 followed in 2021 and shifted focus by presenting Norman as more of an antihero rather than the outright villain he was in the first film.
