The Land of the Dead is about to come back to life! Pixar has officially announced that Coco 2 is in the works, set to hit theaters in 2029. Fans of the beloved 2017 film have been waiting for a sequel, and it looks like their patience is finally paying off.
What’s the Story?
While Pixar is keeping plot details under wraps, early reports suggest that Coco 2 will continue exploring Miguel’s journey, potentially diving deeper into Mexican traditions, music, and the afterlife. Given the first film’s emotional depth and stunning visuals, expectations are sky-high.
Who’s Involved?
The original creative team is making a return! Director Lee Unkrich and co-director Adrian Molina are back, ensuring that the sequel maintains the heart and soul of Coco. Producer Mark Nielsen (Inside Out 2) is also on board, promising another emotional rollercoaster.
The announcement has sparked excitement, but also a hint of skepticism. Many fans consider Coco a perfect standalone film, fearing that a sequel might not live up to the original’s magic. However, with Pixar’s track record, there’s hope that Coco 2 will be more than just a cash grab.
Pixar is keeping things hush-hush for now, but more details—like casting announcements and the official storyline—are expected in the coming years.
