Rei Ami says she’s waiting to find out about a KPop Demon Hunters sequel along with the rest of us.
The 30-year-old, who provides the singing voice of Zoey in the hit Netflix film, dressed up as her own character for Heidi Klum's 24th Annual Halloween Party on Friday (Oct. 31).
While speaking to E! News at the event’s red carpet, Ami was asked whether Zoey and her fellow demon-slaying members of Huntr/x will return for another film.
"I'm waiting for the call, just like you! You're gonna find out when I do, so we'll chat then,” she said.
That future, however, might be edging closer to reality.
According to Deadline, Netflix began early talks about a potential sequel in August, though the streamer nor Sony Pictures Animation has yet to make an official comment.
In an interview with the BBC earlier in October, co-director and creator Maggie Kang said there was "nothing official we can talk about" with respect to a sequel but that she and co-director Chris Appelhans believe "there's definitely more we can do with these characters in this world".
"And whatever it will be, it will be a story that deserves to be a sequel, and it will be something that we want to see," Kang added.
KPop Demon Hunters has become a major cultural phenomenon, surpassing Squid Game as Netflix's most watched title with over 390 million views.
On the red carpet, Ami said she's "honored and in awe" of the film's global impact.
"Just truly humbled by the power of music and good art and how it can really, truly—it sounds so cliché—change the world," she said. "That's exactly what this film and this soundtrack did, and it brought so much hope and light into such a dim, grim world, and I feel really privileged to be a part of it."
The soundtrack topped the Billboard 200 for two nonconsecutive weeks, and its breakout hit “Golden” (performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami) led the Hot 100 chart for eight consecutive weeks.
The film’s story centers on Huntr/x, a K-Pop trio that doubles as a group of demon hunters who protect their fans from supernatural threats. Their mission is to seal the “Honmoon,” a mystical barrier that prevents demons from crossing into the human world.
The singers clash with the Saja Boys, a new rival boy band secretly made up of demons. Meanwhile, Rumi harbors a painful secret that could threaten their entire mission.
