F1®: The Movie Sequel: Definitely Something That Is Being Talked About

Apple CEO Tim Cook doesn't know when a sequel to F1®: The Movie will be released, but did confirm it "is definitely something that is being talked about."

One of the big winners of the summer is F1®: The Movie without a doubt. While people thought the film was going to do well internationally because of how popular F1 is, no one expected the movie to pop off domestically as well as it did, even more so considering the heavy competition it faced during the summer blockbuster season. Apple Original Films and Warner Bros. are still being coy about a sequel, though all of these months later. The first rumbles of a sequel came mere days after F1®: The Movie was released, but it sounds like they haven't signed any formal contracts yet.

Apple CEO Tim Cook spoke to Variety at the Emmys yesterday, and when asked when a sequel to F1®: The Movie would be coming, he replied, "I don't know, but it is definitely something that is being talked about." Cook went on to say how, "It's been such a huge summer blockbuster for us, we're so proud of it," and praised everyone involved with the film, "The talent involved in that show are just next level, and Brad did such a wonderful job acting in it. We're super proud of it and can't wait to bring it to the service."

Considering how well this last film did, one can assume Warner Bros. and Apple Original Films want to bring back as much of the cast and crew for round two to try nd get that lightning to strike again. Everyone would also have to renegotiate now that the first film is such a success story, so there are a lot of moving pieces, and it sounds like they are continuing to move.
