Samara Weaving, 34, is expecting her first child with husband Jimmy Warden, a joyful announcement made during the Los Angeles screening of her upcoming film, ‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’. The sequel to the 2019 horror hit ‘Ready or Not’ is set to hit cinemas in the UK and Ireland on March 20, 2026.
At the screening, Weaving showcased her maternity style in a striking green maxidress featuring a statement cutout, which accentuated her visible baby bump. The event was attended by fellow actress Margot Robbie, with whom Weaving has often been compared due to their similar looks. Weaving expressed her appreciation for the comparisons, stating, “I hang out with Margot, and I mean, it’s so flattering that people think I look like her. And it’s great if it makes people go see the movie.”
‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’ sees Weaving reprising her role as Grace, who must navigate a deadly contest against rival families. The film is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and features a cast that includes Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, and Elijah Wood. The original film, which was released in 2019, gained a strong following for its unique blend of horror and dark comedy.
Weaving’s maternity fashion choices have drawn attention, with her opting for both figure-hugging and relaxed looks as she embraces this new chapter in her life. At the premiere, her baby bump was a focal point, showcasing her style and confidence. Weaving remarked, “No, never. She’s gorgeous, keep them coming!” in reference to the comparisons with Robbie.
The anticipation for ‘Ready or Not 2’ is palpable, especially considering the success of its predecessor, which resonated with audiences for its thrilling plot and engaging characters. As the release date approaches, fans are eager to see how Grace’s story unfolds in the sequel.
As Weaving prepares for motherhood, her dual role as an actress and an expectant parent adds a layer of excitement to her career. Observers are keen to see how she balances these new responsibilities while continuing to thrive in Hollywood.
