Is a sequel in the works?

While a sequel has yet to be officially announced, it is practically inevitable due to the film’s success.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in June, Pratt teased that news of a sequel had been delayed due to the Hollywood strikes. “We’re in the midst of this writers’ strike, and so everything has been paused and [put] on hold for the right reasons,” he said.

“I really do support the WGA and our writers. When the negotiations have been completed, and the writers feel comfortable moving forward, then it’ll be time to start talking about what’s next for that.”

The Hollywood writers’ strike came to an end in September, while the actors’ strike concluded in November.

Nintendo’s next confirmed movie project, however, is an adaptation of The Legend Of Zelda from director Wes Ball (The Maze Runner).
