None of your childhood friends are safe: the makers of the gory slashers Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 1 & 2 are branching off into a shared cinematic world, the Poohniverse.

A.A. Milne’s characters (and others!) are going full Avengers, with news that low-budget genre labels Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Films are planning another slasher horror pic, Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, due to shoot this year ahead of a 2025 release.

“It will be complete carnage. We are heavily influenced by Freddy Vs Jason and The Avengers. We would love to see a horror movie where the villains group together and are going after their survivors. We have some incredible set pieces in mind and some sequences I think will truly shock people,” Jagged Edge producer Rhys Frake-Waterfield wrote in a statement.

Blood and Honey featured a 6-foot Pooh and Piglet going on a murder spree through the Hundred Acre Wood after being abandoned by Christopher Robin, only to go feral from the neglect. In Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, which Frake-Waterfield will direct, all our childhood faves, including Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Bambi, The Mad Hatter, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell join forces to wreak havoc.

Until then, fans can look forward to Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, which lands in US cinemas on March 26th.
