Disney has officially announced that a sequel to the cherished animated film ‘Coco’ is currently in development. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, ‘Coco 2’ is set to hit theaters in 2029. This exciting update was shared by Disney CEO Bob Iger during the company’s Annual Shareholder Meeting, generating enthusiasm among fans and investors alike.
Although the project is still in its preliminary phases, Iger’s announcement has sparked anticipation for further information. “While the film is just in the initial stages, we know it will be full of humor, heart, and adventure, and we can’t wait to share more soon,” Iger stated, as noted by The Hollywood Reporter. The sequel will reunite key members of the original creative team, including director Lee Unkrich and co-director Adrian Molina.
