It’s not the most expected sequel in the world but Brit Henry Jackman, who composed the score for the first film, has confirmed that he knows WRECK-IT RALPH 2 is currently being worked on.
The reason I say ‘not expected‘ is that Disney isn’t know for their follow-ups, when you think of the films they’ve produced, most of them are single entities but saying that WRECK-IT RALPH was such an impressive new invention that it would make sense in the day of the franchise and a plethora of characters to make it happen. Jackman is a BAFTA-nominated composer with the likes of CAPTAIN PHILLIPS, THE WINTER SOLDIER, THIS IS THE END and X-MEN: FIRST CLASS under his belt so to say he’s up and coming is somewhat of an understatement.
The revelation of a second WRECK-IT RALPH came in a larger interview when he was asked if he’d been told there was a sequel – he replied:
I did, to be honest with you. I can’t tell you more, not because I’m being coy, but I believe that it is officially on the cards. I don’t know any more other than a story is indeed being written. I’d be very surprised not to. I’m not blowing my own trumpet. Forget about the music. Just the movie itself I thought was a fantastically imaginative and creative piece of work. Rich Moore, the director, actually got involved in the writing. There was another writer and I can’t remember his name. Just as a concept, it would be almost remiss of them not to write another one. It’s a great idea and it’s a great character.
We completely agree with all his points and I know I’d be very interested to see another outing for the brilliantly unique anti-hero-to-hero but where could it go?
I guess we’ll find out and when (or if) we do, we’ll let you know first but in the meantime don’t forget to check out the full interview over on Collider.
