Back in 2012, Disney launched a movie based around video games called Wreck-It Ralph. In case you did not watch it, it featured a character called Ralph who in the videogame Wreck-It Ralph is the game’s “bad guy”, but at the end of the day he’s actually more like an actor who plays a bad guy, but he still gets a bad rep for it anyway.
It’s actually a rather interesting take on video games (more so than Pixels) and while we would have been happy with the movie ending there, we guess a sequel might not be such a bad idea, which is what the folks at Disney were thinking as well. The company has announced on Facebook Live that a sequel to 2012’s Wreck-It Ralph is being made and that it is expected to be released in 2018.
The movie will see the return of Wreck-It Ralph director Rich Moore and screenwriter Phil Johnston, both of whom also worked on Zootopia, and also John C. Reilly who plays the movie’s protagonist, and Sarah Silverman who voice Vanellope in the original movie. While the actual plot and additional characters were not revealed, the sequel to Wreck-It Ralph is expected to take place on the internet.
As you can see in the concept art above, several famous internet companies will be getting parodied, like Gugle (Google), Amazing (Amazon), and Lubhub (we’re guessing Pornhub?) just to name a few.
