KPop Demon Hunters is getting a sequel, and because it’s going to take a very long time to animate, it’s going to take a very long time earlier than it will definitely arrives on Netflix. For a time, the film was projected to come back out in 2029, a superb 4 years after the original blew up last year. However now, it sounds prefer it would possibly take even longer than that.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sony Footage Animation president Kristine Belson didn’t say a lot about KPop Demon Hunters 2, however did closely indicate that the deliberate 2029 date might be not going to pan out. When THR mentioned {that a} 2029 launch appeared “far-fetched,” Belson responded by, because the outlet describes, inserting “her pointer finger to her nose, to indicate that’s correct thinking.” Might we be ready till 2030? 2031? That’s brutal.
From the sound of it, even in these very early phases the group has been so busy throughout awards season that administrators Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans have had little time to buckle down on the mission. KPop Demon Hunters has been doing very properly at award exhibits, with wins on the Academy Awards and the Grammys, amongst many others. I assume all that flying backwards and forwards between totally different occasions does have a manner of complicating issues. Larian expressed a similar sentiment when Baldur’s Gate 3 was winning a bunch of awards after it launched in 2023, which had employees out of the workplace and at award exhibits a lot it received in the best way of the studio’s work.
KPop Demon Hunters 2 has loads of potential threads to comply with each time it does finally come out. The primary film doesn’t finish on a cliffhanger, per se, however there are a lot of character beats it only briefly touches on that may very well be expanded right into a full-blown sequel.
