Sources differ on how Beni Gabor will reappear. The 1999 film showed the character being devoured by scarab beetles, leading some outlets (e.g., Epicstream) to label his return as a “mystery” and speculate on supernatural resurrection. Other reports simply note O’Connor’s signing without addressing the character’s fate, leaving the narrative mechanism for Beni’s comeback unconfirmed.
