GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Bringing back Miner suggests producers may be aiming to recapture the tone of the franchise's earlier, well-regarded sequels rather than pursue a reboot in a different style. The long gap since prior entries indicates renewed studio confidence in horror franchise revivals as a reliable box-office draw.
