No confirmation yet. DanielRPK leaked the name Nova, while according to Ryan Kiera Armstrongs dad, Ryan auditioned for the role of Nina.

I think the answer to all this stuff is "We won't really know until they tell us more."

Heh, I dunno, trying to guess what's going on based on little scraps and rumors and whited out names seems like something that was exciting when we were in our 20s. I'm all for being patient these days. They will certainly reveal more info soon.

What’s up modern day protagonist in horror having such boring names like poppy would’ve been a better choice.

There's a good chance it's gonna be Poppy.

What kind of name is Buffy? It's only iconic because of the show lol.

Apparently it’s Nova

Someone did some tech magic to the image of the script that SMG posted, and the name nova wasn't on the character list but the name poppy was.
