What To Expect in Coco 2?
Actor Alonso Martinez revealed in an interview, “We started Coco with a simple idea: a love letter to Mexico, for all the beauty of its people, customs, and depth of love.”
He continued: “If given the opportunity, I would jump at the chance. I’m hoping for a sequel, even if I’m not a part of it. I’d want to learn more about Miguel — what he’s doing and what he’s up to,” he added. “I’m curious about his bond with his new baby sister,” said Gonzales.
Needless to say, we’re positive that a sequel will take place but we all need to be patient and wait for further announcements.
