Disney is developing a sequel to Pixar’s “Coco,” titled “Coco 2,” and is planning a theatrical release in November 2029. Multiple outlets report that the film centers on Miguel as a teenager, continuing the story world established in the original movie.
The cast and plot elements reported by outlets include the return of Ernesto de la Cruz. The Hollywood Reporter says de la Cruz is back with a motive tied to revenge, while the other outlet highlights his return as part of the sequel’s setup. Mashable also characterizes the sequel’s direction as following Miguel at a later stage of his life.
While both sources agree on the film’s identity, the teenage Miguel focus, and de la Cruz’s return, they differ slightly in emphasis: Hollywood Reporter foregrounds Ernesto’s revenge-driven storyline, while Mashable focuses more broadly on the sequel announcement and timing.
