Kane Parsons made one of 2026's most highly acclaimed and commercially successful movies in Backrooms, and everyone wants to know what he'll do next. A lot of people think he's going to make a Portal movie, based on Valve's hit series, and his latest appearance has fans convinced that's on tap.

Parsons recently appeared on Kyle Buchanan's podcast wearing a Valve hoodie. Parsons is a huge fan of Valve and its work, so he very well may have been wearing the hoodie like anyone wears a piece of clothing bearing the name or logo of their favorite thing. But others believe it was an intentional choice by Parsons to wear the Valve hoodie to stoke the rumors of a Portal movie.

In the interview, Parsons said he's working on three "dream projects" right now, and he can't talk about them. The other people involved might "get me with their space lasers," Parsons joked. He added that these people can "see through walls," and fans are taking that to be another reference to Portal and its gameplay system that allows players to get through walls with a special gun.

Don't expect Parsons to make another movie anytime soon, though. He said he's still at the "information-collection phase" and that he wants to choose projects that give him enough "mobility creatively."

"I'm not trying to bite off more than I can chew currently. I'm trying to pick things that are going to force me to learn about subjects that I think are foundational to things I want to learn about later in life," he said.
