Disney announced via a Facebook Live event that Wreck-It Ralph is officially getting a sequel in March 2018. While it has been hinted at (and pretty much confirmed by John C. Reilly) in the past, this is the official confirmation.

 

Rich Moore returns to direct the sequel, this time joined by writer Phil Johnston as co-director. Both John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman are back to voice Ralph and Vanellope.

 

Plot details are vague, but we do know this much thanks to Oh My Disney:

“From the moment we started working on the first Wreck-It Ralph, we knew there were so many possibilities with these characters,” said Moore, who has been developing it since shortly after the release of the first film, and while directing this year’s critically-acclaimed hit Zootopia with Byron Howard. “This time, Ralph’s wrecking wreaks havoc on the Web—as only he can do. Characters we loved in the first film are back and we are ecstatic to be working with them—and the actors who voice them—once again.”

 

“The world of the internet is the perfect place to send Ralph and Vanellope,” said Johnston. “The scope and scale are so vast and the possibilities for comedy are endless.”

 

“Ralph is a character very near and dear to my heart,” added Reilly. “I’m really looking forward to playing the big lug again. Making the first Wreck it Ralph was one of the most special experiences I’ve ever had and I’m really looking forward to bringing him back to life. So many kids I’ve met all over the world are excited to see him again too. They tell me all the time!”

 

 

 

The March release date means that Gigantic has been delayed until November 2018.

Seriously though how did they get away with mentioning that?

The internet thing really was a curveball, but I'm hoping they use games and the internet hand in hand. The story of the arcade was pretty good and the whole Turbo thing was interesting. I don't know what kind of story they could do if it focused solely on the internet. The director has spoken about his confidence of getting Mario to appear in a potential sequel before so that would suggest they are still focused on the gaming side at least.

 

It's anyone's guess though.

 

Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong, there's lots of online games that the director could make Easter Egg cameos out of, but I don't know, I just feel like the sequel should focus on console gaming!  But, the director probably knows what he's doing!  He made the first film, and it was amazing, so I'm confident that he'll make a good job for the sequel!  Here's hoping the sequel is good!

Haha, some people think it's Stubhub, but yeah I think they really didn't think that one through

I'm worried about what's going on in Lubhub, lol.

Hm, I'm really not sure how I feel about this.  I absolutely love the first Wreck-it Ralph, but I don't think it really needed a sequel.  Not to mention now that its more about the internet than video games.  I'll probably still see this movie, but I'll wait until it comes out on DVD.

Usually I don't really like prequels, because they somehow just screw up almost all the time. The only good prequels that were made in my opinion were Finding Dory and Toy Story 3.

This is awesome! If you lool at the WiR deleres scenes, you'll see they wanted to do the internet for that movie. And now they have a chance to do it right for the sequel.

Were Shrek 2, HTTYD 2, TS2, 3, Finding Dory, Rescuers Down Under, and Monsters University needed? Not really. It doesn't mean they weren't good ideas.Except maybe RDU because that didn't have great Box Office.
