Apple’s highly anticipated production, “F1 The Movie,” is set to join the Apple TV+ library soon. Following the purchase and rental period, which began in August, the film will be available on the streaming service on December 12th. As the film’s wide release approaches, fans and the production team are already discussing the possibility of a sequel. Director Joseph Kosinski, in particular, is quite positive about the idea.

Is a sequel coming to Apple’s F1 movie? First hints from Tim Cook and the director

Apple CEO Tim Cook responded to a question from Variety at the Emmys. While Cook refrained from making a definitive confirmation about the sequel, he confirmed that the topic is on the agenda. “I don’t know, but it’s definitely something that’s being discussed,” Cook said. He emphasized that the film is a “big summer box office hit” for Apple and expressed his pride in the production. He also added that the talent involved in the project, especially Brad Pitt’s acting, is “next level.”

The film’s director, Joseph Kosinski, has been more explicit about his desire for a sequel. Speaking to Deadline, Kosinski said he personally would love to see the future adventures of Brad Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes. “I’d love to see what happens to the APXGP team and Joshua Pearce, and how his career progresses,” Kosinski said, hinting at the potential for a sequel.

The director added that they’re just “starting to dream up” the idea and that it’s fun to be in this thinking phase. The fact that both Cook and Kosinski are so open about the possibility of a sequel is considered a promising development for fans. It’s not surprising that a sequel is being considered for this film, Apple’s biggest box office success to date. Apple’s recent agreement for the F1 broadcasting rights in the US also bolsters this possibility.

The fact that a sequel is being discussed for a film that hasn’t yet reached a wide audience demonstrates Apple’s confidence in the project. So, are you planning on watching this F1 movie starring Brad Pitt? Does the idea of ​​a potential sequel excite you? Share your thoughts in the comments.
