Wreck-It Ralph 2 Confirmed to be Smashing Its Way to Theatres

Oh hell yes!

second that!!!!!!

I've been hoping for a better role for Mario, not just turning up at the door of a party for a brief cameo.

That's swell, now Wreck-It Ralph needs to game jump into Super Smash Bros already!

Yay Galway! And yay entertainment.ie

Loved Wreck-it Ralph.

I think the odds are pretty terrible that they'd have Pit or Samus show up in the background somewhere, but I can hope. Mario will surely be there. That's a cameo that MUST happen.

Hoping that Sora from Kingdom Hearts makes a appearance.

If a character has never been in an arcade game they really shouldn't be in this movie. From Nintendo's roster that rules out most of their home console heavyweights including Link and Samus. But Mario, DK and even Captain Falcon (Fzero AX) should be eligible.

The first movie was fine, However in order for me to see the next one this film has to be the videogame equivalent to Roger Rabbit with lots of close ups of videogame character cameos.

I love the first movie. So I'm very excited about the second one.

since the first one was a big success, I'm sure game companies will be jumping at the chance to feature their characters and franchises in the sequel.

You know what would be kind of cool? Shovel Knight. XD

I'll pass. I didn't like the first movie that much. It started out fine, but then it got kinda boring.

@Tender_Cutlet Not necessarily. Early plot rumors suggest that this might take place in the realm of online gaming, so any game that ever was in arcades or online could potentially appear..

Whoooo, Wreck-It-Ralph!!! When can i see you again?

Be great if nintendo allows mario to cameo. Wont be out til at least 2018 though as disney have already announced their release dates upto 2017. Toy Story 4 being main animated film of that year and the usual Marvel and Star Wars spin off.

Yes! Yes!

Disney Animation used to make a sequel once in a blue moon. Now they've announced sequels to two of their three most recent movies.

What matters is that the movies are good, I suppose, but I'm fed up of sequels.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah!!!!!!!

Woohoo... I don't care.

Personally I think if Mario is in this film, it has to be kept to a short cameo/joke, otherwise Mario will overshadow everything else in the film. Like Mickey Mouse, Superman, Hulk Hogan or Michael Jackson, the image of him is so iconic around the world anything you put him in will be about him even if you don't put his name on the front of it.

Yes! I was really hoping they would do a sequel. Can't wait.

Nintendo have promised to relax their IP licensing so you never know... can't see Mario having a big role as giving him too much dialogue might spoil the character somewhat - probably be similar to Bowser'z cameo in the 1st film

Loved the first one so good news. I liked how cameos are there but never carry the movie.

Maybe we'll see a Pokken arcade machine in the movie. lol.

I got really excited about seeing Sonic in the first one, but the film was generic. Hopefully Nintendo steer clear of this. If you want something done right, ...

Fix it Felix > Wreck it Ralph
Yes, I went there

Hmm, possible Mario cameo in a Disney film, Nintendo at Universal theme parks. They're on their way to become another face of Orlando

There was a good movie inside Wreck it Ralph but they burdened it w/ the Ralph storyline as the main story is obviously about Vanellope. I'm OK w/ it being told from Ralphs point of view but the whole group meeting w/ the cameos was unnecessary, and the villain is revealed too late in the film so there isn't enough time to build up a true dynamic. My wife kids and I spent several days after discussing how they could have recur that into a good movie we would want to see. If they are going to focus on Ralph again we may skip the sequel.

I loved the first move so much I bought the boxed set, don't even have use for anything but the DVD in the set, go me!

Will watch this movie when it comes out and buy the DVD/Blue-ray/3D combo pack when it comes out. Ralph me up baby!

Yes! Oh god, yes!

Hopefully this time they'll make a decent videogame.

Well, guess I'll have to watch the first one again.

I thought Wreck-it Ralph was a great family movie. I was hoping for a sequel.

I always thought that Disney missed out on a great opportunity to make some awesome games based off of the film. I know they made a game but it was horrible. They should have made a quality game based off of Sugar Rush.

Guys, they had the rights to use Mario in the first film, but they couldn't find a place to squeeze him on, so they didn't use him.

Also, the film isn't coming out in 2016. It takes three years to make an animated film, and Disney's schedule is booked for 2016, 2017, and 2018.

Given the look of that image I wonder if it's a "game characters unite" deal. Then putting Mario in it would be easy.

@Espy At least Wreck-It-Ralph was a 100% original story. Frozen, like a lot of Disney fantasy fare, is based on an existing children's tale (ie.The Snow Queen).

@Tender_Cutlet That bothered me about the first movie, to be honest. In particular, Sonic's relative prominence was a bit of a nitpick. Yes, I know he's been in several arcade games, but no one thinks of him as an arcade hero. And has he had any starring roll in an arcade game since his Adventure redesign?

The N Team.

@rjejr The villian was named in the first scene. The seed was planted early and often to remind you of whatTurbo had done. The whole time I was waiting for him to show up and he was the there the whole time. I knew King Candy was a villain since he was able to hack the game but his reason of why Vennolope couldn't race was legit. Then turns he is Turbo and already had taken a game over.

I hate Frozen. It has to be one of the most overrated movies of all time. The movie never had a true villain. The prince being the bad guy was no plot twist at all just lazy writing. If he truly wanted to kill Elsa he should've killed her at the her ice fortress when she surrendered. The soldiers would vouch for him since they were his men. Heck even in the dungeon, simple lie would do. The movie just ran its course then the writers realized there is no villain so let's just make the prince the bad guy. There must be a small clue or even a rumor of someone saying something but this movie had nothing. Scar is one of my favorite villains of all time. You hate him for trying to kill Simba once. Then again when reveals his plan through his song. Finally when he kills Mufasa and blames Simba for it. That's a true villain.

@Tender_Cutlet

Hey, now. Do not dismiss Q*bert.

@rjejr Respectfully in my opinion you are wrong on almost every point. The movie is first and foremost about Ralph and his journey. That is why they have the villains group at the very beginning and why Ralph repeats the mantra at the end as he is taking part in the ultimate heroic sacrifice. The parts with Sugar Rush were merely the backdrop, although a very nuanced one with a secret backstory. I agree the true villain was not fleshed out properly, but other than that we were watching very different movies apparently, as it was an excellent film. Arguably it is the best video game movie of all time, and I cannot wait for a sequel.

@IceRod - Maybe the movie is about Ralph, but my family and I just wanted it not to be b/c Vaneloppe's story was the more interesting one? I don't remember how long it was but we all agreed it would have been better about 20 minutes shorter. Maybe that would have made it an even more generic kids movie and not interesting to adults, but that's the movie we thought it should have been. Maybe had I seen it 15 years ago before I viewed everything thru my children's eyes I would have liked it better as it stands. Jurassic World was way to graphically violent and bloody to me now but 20 or 30 years ago I would have been laughing hysterically.

They did say that Wreck-It Ralph 2 was greenlit after how successful the first was in theaters almost instantly, and they planned to have Mario actually appear in the movie. Am I the only person who seemingly remembers this?

Hopefully Nintendo will ask for a smidgen less money so Mario can actually appear in the film this time rather than just being an implied presence.

@Espy The problem is that they aren't making sequels to their good films...
Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen don't need sequels. If anything does, there needs to be a sequel to Big Hero 6, since I could actually see that story progressing.

I hope the cameo lasts a good amount of time.

either way the movie will be great!!

@NickieBoy Little Mac qualifies as an arcade vet!! Dunno if Iron Mike is quite the family draw Disney will be looking for nowadays!!!? Got more skeletons in his closet than old man Walt himself!! Lol

@Dr_Corndog yeah, know what you mean about Sonic cameo, the tie in with Sega was pretty flawed from the arcade plot. It was almost as out of place as Ralph's cameo in Sonic Transformed. (Surely Vanelope would have been the obvious glitchy guest driver!!?) Still, if they can rewrite the backstory to give Ralph a fictional retro game on Megadrive then that would tie things in nicely for a console plot...

YES PLEASE!
I wonder what the story will be about this time. I'm hoping for more popular character(Mario, Sonic, Bowser etc) involvement... just something more than what the first movie did will be good for me!

@Azikira I remember vividly reading that Mario was supposed to be in the first movie. I can't remember the reason, though..

Hopefully the videogame characters are utalised more and the moral is better than 'don't try to rise above the social station you're born into' this time around.

So much better than a Frozen Sequel! Frozen is okay but I see more potential in Wreck-It Ralph. I'd like a Link cameo much more than a Mario cameo, though, with his typical "Hyaa! HAAA!" and everyone else going o_O???

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN

Funny thing is I finally watched the 1st Wreck-It Ralph movie that I have saved on my DVR for 9 months yesterday. It's nice they are planning a sequel when it took me almost 3 year to watch the 1st.

The first one was an amazing movie so I will without a doubt be seeing this one in theatres. All the nods to video game icons was nice, but I think the general story of the movie was the best part for me. It was such a heart warming movie.

@Tender_Cutlet I thought metroid was an arcade game. That's what the codes instead of saves were for...

@ManateeBlubber ugh, didn't like big hero six

The first movie was pretty good so I'll probably check this one out once it releases.

Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series?

This is a great way to test the waters as Nintendo gears up for the new wave of Video Game based films. With Sony being ready to supposedly pump out that SMB film (I can't believe it either, it's like the twilight zone) this is a great way for us to get an idea how Mario can work in that sort of medium. After all, he CAN work in stories, just typically stories where the focus isn't on him. The RPGs knew that darn well.

Hopefully not to many added game characters in there, and just keep all the first ones that were in there.

Wreck-It Ralph was a good flick. Didn't really seem like it was written with a sequel in mind, but if it's also good, I certainly won't mind.

@ManateeBlubber
As long as they never make those accursed "Disney sequels" like Pochahontas 2 or Cinderella 2 ever again

Wasn't a bad movie, but I have seen better.

@Cinaclov That wasn't the message - Ralph's issue isn't with his Bad Guy job itself ("I wreck things, professionally. I'm probably the best I know."), it's with the fact that people treat him like an actual bad person off-hours just because of his role in the game ("Maybe I wouldn't be feeling this way if things were different after work").

Ralph doesn't go off to find a vacant Good Guy position in another game (since that isn't how the games work), he leaves with the intention of bringing back a medal to prove himself worthy of respect and praise, since he figures that Felix is loved for winning medals. He wants to prove that he's a good person, regardless of the role he plays, since the Bad Guy role is just as important to the gameplay as the Good Guy role. The Nicelanders learn this when Ralph is missing and their game is almost unplugged. Ralph "moves up" in social status (as much as the arcade has social status in their culture) by showing that his role is worthy of as much respect as Felix's.

So the lesson could be interpreted as "don't judge people by their lot in life; everyone is important and those who perform non-glamorous jobs deserve appreciation" or "sometimes, little changes in life make the most difference", that sort of thing. I think the reason that the message was misunderstood was because the advertising campaign for the film made it look like Ralph was trying to find a place where he belonged, rather than a way to get respect where he already was.
