After earning more than $633 million worldwide, Joseph Kosinski\u2019s F1 has become a major win for Apple, and with numbers like that, a sequel was almost inevitable. Rumblings of a follow-up<\/a> have circulated since the film\u2019s release last summer, but producer Jerry Bruckheimer has now confirmed what many expected: it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

F1 Sequel<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working on a sequel,\u201d Bruckheimer told the BBC<\/a> at the annual Academy Awards luncheon in Los Angeles. That\u2019s about all he was willing to reveal, declining to share a production timeline or confirm casting details, including whether Brad Pitt will return as Sonny Hayes, which still seems like a safe assumption.<\/p>\n

F1 also earned several Oscar nominations<\/a> last month, including a nod for Best Picture. Bruckheimer said he was \u201csurprised\u201d but thrilled by the recognition. \u201cIt was a long journey to get the movie made because we had to endure a couple of strikes \u2013 but in the end, the movie entertained audiences around the world,\u201d he said. \u201cI never worked with Brad Pitt before and it\u2019s really a thrill to work with Brad.\u201c<\/p>\n

Brad Pitt Seems Keen to Return<\/p>\n

Shortly after the film\u2019s release, Pitt indicated he would like to return<\/a> for a sequel, though he wasn\u2019t sure how his character would fit in. \u201cI would want to drive again, selfishly speaking,\u201d Pitt said. \u201cF1 is still the focus. It needs to be on Joshua Pierce \u2013 Damson Idris\u2019s character \u2013 and the rest of the team fighting for a championship. Where does Sonny fit in? I\u2019m not sure. Sonny\u2019s probably out on the Bonneville Salt Flats, setting speed records or something like that. So I\u2019m not sure beyond that, just yet.\u201c<\/p>\n

We Loved F1<\/p>\n

Our own Chris Bumbray\u00a0loved<\/a>\u00a0F1, saying the film\u00a0\u201cmight rank as one of the most awe-inspiring works of pure spectacle seen on the big screen in years.\u201d\u00a0He continued,\u00a0\u201cWhile some may thumb their nose at the fact that it\u2019s deliberately telling a familiar story, it can\u2019t be denied that\u00a0F1\u00a0is an absolute rollercoaster ride of a movie, and \u2013 like\u00a0Sinners\u00a0\u2013 helps make the case for theatres still being essential to a particular kind of filmmaking. Hopefully, this is the blockbuster hit it deserves to be.\u201c<\/p>\n

What do you hope to see in the F1 sequel?<\/p>\n
