While we may get a chance to see different cast and characters joining the project, there will be some from the original film who will make a comeback. Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina will return to direct and co-direct the sequel , respectively. Mark Nielsen, who has worked on some acclaimed Pixar projects, will be seen producing Coco 2 .
Coco not only impressed the global fandom with its vibrant and eye-catching visuals, but it also made a long-lasting impact with the faithful portrayal of Mexico’s rich heritage. On top of everything, the protagonist, Miguel, was the heart and soul of the original film, who, after getting a happy ending, is again getting ready to face new challenges in the sequel.
Coco 2 might see Miguel embarking on a new adventure in the land of the dead. The film may also focus on the dynamics of the titular family. Since we have no idea about the direction the story will take in the sequel, let’s keep our fingers crossed and see how Disney and Pixar tackle the project.
