Is 'Inside Out 3' in the works?
The success of the first two films and the enduring popularity of the characters have sparked hope among fans for another chapter in Riley's emotional journey.
There have been speculations about a potential third installment in the 'Inside Out' franchise.
In an interview with ComicBook, Kelsey Mann, the director of 'Inside Out 2', has hinted at the possibility of a third movie in the franchise. He has shared some plot ideas that he would like to explore in future films, suggesting that there is more story to tell in Riley's emotional journey.
He revealed one of his favorite plot ideas that didn't make it into 'Inside Out 2', hinting that it could be used in a future installment.
He reportedly said, "One of my favorites is a location that we came up with called Procrastination Land. This is the land I definitely have, especially as a teen. It was a land which had a big sign that said 'Procrastination Land' and then it said 'Coming Soon.'"
He further added, "It's such a funny idea. We had trouble figuring out why in this particular story. I won't tell you everything about it, there's some other stuff about it that's really funny. So I'm like, 'This has to be used somehow in the future.'"
His recent comments have fueled speculation that 'Inside Out 3' could be on the horizon. While nothing has been officially confirmed, Mann's hints at future plot ideas and his enthusiasm for the franchise suggest that there will be 'Inside Out 3'.
However, creating an animated film of the caliber of 'Inside Out' is a time-consuming process. So, the exact release date for 'Inside Out 3' cannot be determined at this time.
