Disney and Pixar have officially announced Coco 2, which will hit theaters in 2029! The story will return to the Land of the Dead, but no details about the plot have been revealed yet.
During a recent shareholder meeting, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that the sequel is currently in early development. According to him, "Although the film is still in its early stages, it is sure to be full of fun, emotion, and adventure. We are excited to share more details soon."
Babalik si Lee Unkrich bilang director, kasama si Adrian Molina, habang si Mark Nielsen, isang beterano sa Pixar, ang magiging producer.
The Coco, na unang lumabas noong 2017, ay isang malaking success sa box office at nakatanggap pa ng dalawang Oscars. Sinundan nito ang kwento ni Miguel, isang 12-year-old na nangangarap maging musician, ngunit ipinagbabawal ito ng kanyang pamilya. Sa kanyang paglalakbay sa Land of the Dead, nadiskubre niya ang isang lihim sa kanyang pamilya.
The film grossed over $800 million USD worldwide. In recent years, Pixar has continued to produce hit movies, such as Inside Out 2 (2024) which grossed $1.66 billion USD and Incredibles 2 (2018) which grossed $1.24 billion USD.
