Mama 2: Ghost of My Beloved Mother
If Mama 2 is made, the film could go in a number of different directions to expand on the horror story of the first film. Here are some interesting theories about the plot of Mama 2:
1. Mama is not completely gone
Although in the first film, Mama’s spirit seems to have been released along with Victoria, it is possible that she still exists in another form. Mama may have left a part of her soul in the world, attached to children who have a similar fate to Victoria and Lily.
2. A new family encounters a curse
A couple adopts an orphaned girl after she experiences a tragedy. They gradually realize that the girl has strange behaviors, such as talking to an “invisible mother”. When they investigate, they discover that the girl is connected to Mama, who is still haunted and searching for motherhood.
3. Lily is not really gone
At the end of the first film, Lily chooses to follow Mama and disappears. But what if Mama hasn’t completely taken control of her? A team of scientists or exorcists might discover that Lily still exists in some form, trapped between the real world and the spirit world. They must find a way to rescue Lily before Mama can pull her completely into the dark side.
4. Mama’s past gets a deeper dive
The first part only briefly revealed Mama’s origins, but Mama 2 could delve deeper into the tragedy that turned her into a vengeful ghost. The film could flash back to the past, telling the story of when Mama was alive, the tragedies that led to her death, and why she couldn’t move on. This could give viewers a more nuanced view of this villain.
Revealing Mama’s Past
In the first part, we only knew that Mama was a mother who lost her child and became a ghost that haunted children because of her grief. However, Mama 2 could delve deeper into her tragedy—was she murdered, betrayed, or killed herself in her grief? These new details could help the audience better understand her motives and resentment.
Explaining Mama’s Supernatural Powers
Mama may appear and manipulate reality in a ghostly way, but what gives her these powers? Is it a curse? An occult ritual? Or is Mama more than just a ghost and connected to an ancient evil force?
Expanding Mama’s Connection to Children
Why does Mama haunt children instead of adults? Perhaps she was a mother who lost her child in horrific circumstances—taken away, murdered, or forced to give it up. This trauma left her unable to move on and searching for a replacement. If Mama 2 delves into this, it could add emotional depth and tragedy to the character.
Creating a new perspective on Mama
In the first film, Mama was seen as a terrifying and dangerous force. But if the second film shows her as a victim rather than a pure villain, the audience could feel more sympathy and understanding for her actions. This could turn Mama 2 into a haunting psychological horror story.
An endless loop
If Mama is the result of a tragedy that was never resolved, Mama 2 could explore the idea that this story will repeat itself forever, unless someone finds a way to resolve her grudge. This could open up a spiritual journey where the protagonist must confront the past to break the cycle of pain.
With these elements, Mama 2 is not just a horror movie but can also bring a tragic story about motherhood and the struggle between love and hate. Is there any other element you would like to add to the story?
5. Mama evolves into a more dangerous entity
Over the years, Mama’s spirit has become stronger, no longer confined to deserted houses. She could travel further, looking for more children to become her “children”, turning the film into a large-scale nightmare of horror, possibly even leading to the appearance of other supernatural forces.
Currently, there is no official information about the production of a sequel to the horror film “Mama” (2013). Although there have been discussions about “Mama 2” in the past, director Andrés Muschietti has expressed no interest in making a sequel, claiming that the story was fully explored in the first part. In 2016, it was reported that Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch would take on the role of director and rewrite the script for “Mama 2”, but there have been no further updates on the project since then. Therefore, it is highly likely that “Mama 2” will not be made in the near future.
