'Obsession' Star Inde Navarrette Has a Surprising Answer About Her Return

Navarrette said she would return as Nikki and described the sequel as a chance to explore the character’s grief after the film’s events.

  • On The Hollywood Reporter podcast recently, actress Inde Navarrette expressed openness to reprising her role as Nikki Freeman if a sequel to the horror hit Obsession moves forward.
  • Directed by Curry Barker, Obsession became a massive 2026 box office success, earning $522 million globally against a budget of $1 million, turning the writer-director into an in-demand Hollywood sensation.
  • Navarrette earned Oscar buzz for her portrayal of Nikki, a character whose free will is stolen by a One Wish Willow charm, forcing her to process trauma and grief from lost autonomy.
  • The 25-year-old actress is now committed to major future projects, including starring as Rogue in a 2028 X-Men reboot and appearing in the action film Invertigo, scheduled for release next year.
  • Barker is considering either a direct sequel or an anthology series exploring other One Wish Willow stories, though he and Navarrette must balance potential franchise commitments with their existing busy schedules.
