Geena Davis has unfinished business, and it involves a mutant bug child. In 1986, Davis starred in David Cronenberg's The Fly, a remake of a classic 1950s sci-fi horror where she played Veronica Quaife, a reporter who falls in love with Seth Brundle, a scientist played by Jeff Goldblum. If you’ve seen the film, then you know things get strange really fast: after a teleportation accident, Seth turns into a human-fly hybrid and ultimately dies, but not before Veronica becomes pregnant with his child.

Davis has a twisted idea for how the story would’ve continued. When asked if she ever wanted to do a sequel to any of her previous films, the actress didn’t hesitate. “Every movie I’ve ever made. Every one,” Geena Davis declared during her A League of Her Own spotlight panel at C2E2 2026. “I want to make a sequel to every one. I had an idea for a sequel to The Fly that would be called Flies. Because I end the movie pregnant and I thought, if I have twins, is one of them going to bug out or not? It would’ve been great.”

A sequel, The Fly II, was made without Davis in 1989. (The movie involved Brundle’s mutant son but took a different route than Davis’s pitch; Veronica Quaife appears briefly in the movie, played by a different actress.) Davis did try to get her sequel off the ground in the ‘90s, but nothing ever materialized. It’s a shame, because Geena Davis’s Flies sounds absolutely wild. Perhaps it's not too late, however; any movie about flies could probably get great buzz.
