Scary Movie 6

KPop Demon Hunters 2
Speaking to Bloomberg, director and screenwriter Maggie Chang gave a vague update on when work will actually start on the animated sequel, which is currently estimated for a 2029 release date.
I can’t really say that officially, but I would say… in a world that loves sequels, I don’t think it’s a surprise that something else could be coming. It’s going to be a long wait for anything because, unfortunately, animation just takes a long time. Although this awards run has been amazing and fun, I just can’t wait to dive right back into another movie and to figure something out, you know, for the world to share. I’m sure that’s what a lot of people hope.
