We’ve been reporting from D23, the Disney fan convention, this weekend, and we’ve gotten a lot of big news so far. But now, we’re learning all about the upcoming films released by Disney and its studios…including Coco 2!
It was announced during a shareholder meeting a while back that Disney and Pixar are producing a Coco 2, which will be a sequel to the hit 2017 film Coco. We’ve been eager for updates about this movie since, and during D23’s Entertainment Showcase, we finally got the details on the movie’s plot!

This film will take place during Miguel’s teenage years, and this time, he will have to team up with Ernesto de la Cruz. Benjamin Bratt will be reprising his role as Ernesto, and he took to the stage at the panel, saying, “Can’t wait to bring my character back to life…or rather, back to death.”
