Disney Announces Wreck-It Ralph 2 For 2018
Released in 2012, Wreck-It Ralph featured plenty of video game related easter eggs and references, as well as a heartwarming story. Disney announced this morning that a sequel is officially in development.
John C. Reilly, who voices the titular villain/hero, hinted at the sequel earlier this year, but this is the first announcement from the production team at Disney. Rich Moore will return to direct the sequel, with co-director Phil Johnston who helped to write the original film. You can read our interview with Moore from 2013 about where the sequel might go. Judging by the first piece of concept art, seen below, the sequel will be taking on the internet.
The first movie scored a modest global box office total of nearly $500 million, but wasn't nearly as successful as other Disney films like Frozen and Zootopia, so a sequel was not a guarantee. Wreck-It Ralph 2 is slated to release on March 9, 2018.
