The new movie Halloween Ends is now available in theaters and on Peacock, and far and wide, horror fans are tuning in to see the final battle between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode. In 2018, this new trilogy of movies began with director David Gordon Green bringing back Jamie Lee Curtis for one last hurrah as the popular final girl. With no plans to continue the franchise at this time, Halloween Ends was designed to serve as the final chapter of the Michael vs. Laurie saga, and it’s unlikely JLC will ever play the role again.
Following the movie’s premiere, Green spoke with THR about working with Curtis and wrapping up her run as Laurie Strode. There was a moment during production when Green had to call cut on Curtis for the final time, wrapping up her time in the role she’s been playing since 1978. After filming JLC’s final shot for the film, there were “enormous emotions” flooding the set, as Green explains.

Green also stressed that it was difficult bringing the production to a close altogether, as he’d gotten to be so close with JLC along with the rest of the cast and crew, especially those who’d been a part of the trilogy since the 2018 movie.

While speaking about the end of her run in the role with Jake’s Takes, Curtis recently said that she has become synonymous with her Halloween character, and because of that, she’ll be taking Laurie around with her everywhere she goes. As JLC puts it:
