Pixar is transporting us back to one of its most beloved and vibrant worlds.
That’s right, folks: a sequel to 2017’s award-winning film Coco is confirmed to be in the works.
During Disney’s yearly shareholders gathering, CEO Bob Iger revealed some exciting news about an upcoming project. He mentioned that although the movie is still in its early phases, it promises to be filled with laughter, emotion, and thrilling adventures.
He continued: “And we can’t wait to share more soon.”
Back in 2017, I was captivated by a movie that introduced me to Miguel, a spirited 12-year-old with a passion for music. In this story, he embarks on an extraordinary journey, venturing into the realm of the Dead, all in pursuit of the family member who could help him realize his musical aspirations.
Read on for everything we know so far about when Coco 2 is expected to land in cinemas.
Coco 2 release date speculation
Although it’s confirmed that the movie will hit theaters in 2029, we’re yet to pinpoint the specific release date.
Fans’ disappointment at a four-year wait isn’t surprising given that Pixar often unveils projects well ahead of their release dates.
Based on the pattern of Pixar’s recent releases, it looks likely that we could expect “Coco 2” in theaters around June 2029, as all of their last four films have been released in the month of June.
Who could be in the Coco 2 cast of voice actors?
In the upcoming movie “Coco 2”, the cast of voice actors hasn’t been revealed yet, but there’s a strong possibility that Anthony Gonzalez might return to voice the character of Miguel, given that the story could continue from where the initial film left off.
Other voice actors who could reprise their roles include:
- Gael García Bernal as Héctor
- Benjamin Bratt as Ernesto de la Cruz
- Alanna Ubach as Mamá Imelda
- Renée Victor as Abuelita
- Jaime Camil as Papá
- Sofía Espinosa as Mamá
- Gabriel Iglesias as Clerk
- Luis Valdez as Tío Berto
- Selene Luna as Tía Rosita
- Herbert Siguenza as Tío Oscar and Tío Felipe
- Dyana Ortelli as Tía Victoria
- Alfonso Arau as Papá Julio
- Lombardo Boyar as Mariachi
- Cheech Marin Corrections as Officer
- Natalia Cordova-Buckley as Frida Kahlo
- Edward James as Olmos Chicharrón
Among the voice actors not coming back for future productions is Ana Ofelia Murguía, who portrayed Miguel’s great-grandmother Mama Coco. This change is due to the unfortunate passing of the actress in 2023.
In 2017, Darla K Anderson, producer of the movie “Coco,” shared with Digital Spy her reasons for naming the film after one of its characters.
She shared, “We found ourselves drawn again and again to the name Coco.” She then elaborated, “It has a hint of mystery, warmth, and versatility. Most importantly, it represents the great-grandmother who serves as the family matriarch, bridging generations and tying everything together. We were particularly captivated by this idea.

Director Lee Unkrich and co-director Adrian Molina will once again take the helm. Mark Nielsen (known for his work on Toy Story 4 and Inside Out 2) is set to produce the film.
As a film enthusiast, I’m eagerly anticipating what Lee Unkrich and Darla K. Molina have in store for us in the upcoming sequel of the mesmerizing movie we’ve come to love. The question on everyone’s mind is who will be at the center of this new tale – will it be Miguel, or perhaps another captivating character from the richly woven world we were introduced to in the original? Only time will tell, so let’s keep our fingers crossed and patiently wait for more details!
