Pixars Coco is finally getting a sequel with Coco 2
Coco 2, starring a teenage Miguel and the return of Ernesto de la Cruz, is coming to theaters in 2029.
Disney has announced plans for a sequel to the beloved Pixar film Coco, tentatively titled Coco 2. At the D23 fan event in Anaheim, Disney revealed that the original director, Lee Unkrich, will be returning alongside co-director Adrian Molina. Benjamin Bratt will reprise his role as Ernesto de la Cruz, a music superstar who appears to play a major role in the upcoming sequel.
This implies that Miguel, the protagonist of the first film, will team up with Ernesto de la Cruz for revenge, leading to new adventures in the Land of the Dead.
The sequel is expected to follow Miguel as a teenager, with a first look at the character being provided by Disney. Coco, released in 2017, was a massive success for Disney, grossing over $800 million worldwide and winning two Academy Awards for best animated feature and best original song, "Remember Me."
Disney CEO Bob Iger had previously mentioned a Coco sequel in March of the previous year. The sequel is currently scheduled to be released in November 2029.
