: There is also a professional casting director named Esther Seznie
Currently, there is no official confirmation from major trade publications (like Variety or Deadline) regarding a specific production casting Vince Banderos alongside Esther Son for 2026. The Verdict
The most telling sign? Isabelle Fuhrman herself liked a tweet asking, "Is Vince Banderos playing your son?" and then unliked it an hour later. Casting intrigue at its finest.
Let’s be real: Esther’s son is a terrifying concept. The original film worked because Esther weaponized our sympathy for children. A grown son—someone who looks like a normal young man but has his mother’s murderous wiring—updates the fear for a new generation. Plus, Vince Banderos has that “boy next door you’d never invite inside” energy.
