Producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that a follow-up to the high-profile racing film is in progress after months of speculation.
The original feature starred Brad Pitt as veteran driver Sonny Hayes and was co-produced by seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton. Here is everything currently known about the planned sequel.
Jerry Bruckheimer revealed the news while attending the annual Academy Awards luncheon in Los Angeles. “We’re working on a sequel.”
He did not provide a production timeline and stopped short of confirming whether Pitt will return as Sonny Hayes.
The 62-year-old, who was spotted at Bullock Harbour in Dalkey, will be on Irish soil for the next two weeks while shooting scenes for the upcoming big-screen adaptation of Tim Winton’s 1994 novel The Riders.
The A24 production marks a major collaboration between Pitt and acclaimed director Edward Berger.

Netflix dropped the surprise first look at Brad Pitt returning as stuntman Cliff Booth in “The Adventures of Cliff Booth,” the sequel to Quentin Tarantino‘s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” during the Super Bowl.
The short teaser was set to retro music and showed Cliff kicking back at a bar, walking behind the scenes of a film set and behind the wheel of a derby car on a dirt race track. It starts with the stuntman icing his knee and meeting Elizabeth Debicki and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II’s characters, both dressed up in fancy Old Hollywood clothing. There were a few shots of nude women, cigarettes, middle fingers, guns and people cursing that were dashed out in a cheeky censorship gag throughout the teaser. Finally, there was a shot of Cliff placing an Oscar on his desk — a nod to Pitt winning his first acting Oscar for his “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” role.
Hollywood star Brad Pitt is expected to arrive on the Greek island of Hydra in late February for the filming of his new movie, “The Riders”, in which he has been cast in the lead role.

The rugged landscape of the Wicklow mountains will soon welcome acclaimed actor and film producer Brad Pitt, as shooting is due to take place on his latest film, The Riders, over the next two weeks, before moving on to various locations on the continent.
Julianne Nicholson and Coco Greenstone are set to join Brad Pitt in A24’s feature adaptation of The Riders with Edward Berger directing. David Kajganich will adapt Tim Winton’s novel. Deadline was first to report last spring that Berger, Pitt and A24 were boarding the project that Scott Free had been developing for some time.
The novel follows Fred Scully (Pitt), who, after traveling through Europe for two years, winds up in Ireland with his wife and daughter. And on a mystical whim of his wife Jennifer, they buy an old farmhouse that stands in the shadow of a castle. While Scully spends weeks alone renovating the old house, Jennifer returns to Australia to liquidate their assets. When Scully arrives at Shannon Airport to pick up Jennifer and their 7-year-old daughter, Billie, it is Billie who emerges — alone. There is no note, no explanation, not so much as a word from Jennifer, and the shock has left Billie speechless. In that instant, Scully’s life falls to pieces.
