Inde Navarrette Shifts Stance on Obsession Sequel

The pivot marks a departure from her comments earlier this year, when Navarrette suggested the film was best left as a standalone project. Speaking on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast in October 2026, she dismissed her earlier hesitation, noting that she would be fully open to returning. For Navarrette, the character's arc offers a compelling narrative hook, specifically the complex, non-linear process of grieving after the supernatural events of the first film.

Obsession became a breakout success in 2026, grossing nearly $300 million against a budget of less than $1 million. Beyond the potential sequel, Navarrette is currently focused on her upcoming role as Rogue in the Disney X-Men reboot, which is slated to begin production in early 2027. She emphasized a desire to select grounded, transformative roles, stating she intends to prioritize character depth and physical reinvention over simple star power as she navigates her rising profile in the industry.
