Walt Disney Animation Announces Wreck It Ralph 2 for 2018!

Walt Disney Animation Studios took to Facebook today to officially announced that Wreck It Ralph 2 is on the way and the film will be released on March 9, 2018. Star John C. Reilly will return to voice the title character.

“Ralph leaves the arcade, and wrecks the internet,” Reilly said about what to expect from the sequel. Rich Moore and Phil Johnston will co-direct the film.

There has been talk of a Wreck-It Ralph sequel since before the first one came out in 2012 to rave reviews and earned over $470 million in worldwide box office, hailed as “Toy Story with video games.” The first film’s director, Rich Moore, has stated there have also been discussions with the highly-protective Nintendo to have some of their signature characters (Mario, Luigi, Link, Zelda) share the screen with Ralph & Co. 

“We’ll really come up with something good for Mario to do [in the next film],” said Moore. “To be able to present him in the sequel, would be great.”

Moore previously said he wanted to dig into Disney’s own homegrown video game property TRON, whose third film was put on indefinite hold, possibly leaving the door open for a definitive Wreck-It Ralph crossover.

“I can’t specifically remember why that didn’t happen,” Moore explained in 2013. “Of course, with a sequel, I’m hoping that we can find a way to see Tron himself in that movie.”

There is no word yet on whether original co-stars Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch will join Reilly in returning for the sequel, which currently does not have a place on the Disney schedule.
