“It was challenging,” Posey recalls, but “as soon as they said ‘action,’ I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. I remember this guy so much.’ He never left me.” 

Crystal Reed, who returns as Allison Argent after an even longer time away, tells Den of Geek it was “really challenging” too. “I found a lot of joy seeing everyone again and experiencing everyone’s essence, but it was hard for me.” 

While Tyler had to deal with Scott becoming a Man Wolf, Crystal had to contend with what’s essentially a completely different take on Allison. Without her memories, this new version of the character is actively trying to hurt the people she loves for the vast majority of the film’s runtime. 

“I was channeling a completely different energy for her,” says Crystal. “Physically, it was really hard for me. I tried my best, but it was really hard for me to kind of maintain my health during that shoot.”

Reed assures us that “It was so worth it” though.

“I feel like that happens on most shoots where you’re in it. You’re like, ‘Oh, this is so difficult,’ and then you kind of can widen the aperture. ‘It’s really beautiful’ in that sometimes the best things take a lot of hard work.”
