Inde Navarrette says she is open to returning for an Obsession sequel
Inde Navarrette has expressed willingness to reprise her role as Nikki in a follow-up to the horror romance Obsession. She told The Hollywood Reporter that she would be open to a sequel and imagined Nikki beginning to process grief after the first film. Navarrette also said the role has not negatively affected her real-life relationships.
Inde Navarrette portrays Nikki in Obsession, a horror-romance film released in April. Made for $750,000, it surpassed $500 million worldwide. Director Curry Barker has said he has ideas for a sequel and may adapt more YouTube short videos into features. Navarrette told The Hollywood Reporter she would return as Nikki and imagines the character beginning to grieve after the first film.
She also said the role has not damaged her personal relationships. Separately, she has been cast as Rogue in Marvel’s X-Men film, scheduled for May 5, 2028, and confirmed involvement in a smaller game project while hoping to join Resident Evil someday.
News of a possible Obsession sequel could energize fans of the original and sustain interest in its cast and director. Navarrette’s reflections on grief and independence may resonate with viewers who have experienced loss or controlling relationships. Her growing profile, including the X-Men role, may draw more attention to her future projects and to smaller game work. The film’s low-budget, high-gross success could encourage studios to back more unconventional horror-romance ideas, though any broader industry effect remains uncertain.
