Coco 2: Disney Unveils First Image of Teenage Miguel for Upcoming Sequel

Disney and Pixar are expanding the beloved "Coco" universe with a sequel, "Coco 2," set to premiere in 2029. The studios recently unveiled the first image of Miguel as a teenager, offering a glimpse into his future adventures. This highly anticipated follow-up will see the young musician embark on new journeys in the Land of the Dead.

The announcement was made during a Disney convention in California, where actor Benjamin Bratt, the voice of Ernesto de la Cruz in the original film, shared the news. Bratt hinted at a dramatic turn, suggesting that his character, Ernesto de la Cruz, returns for revenge and sends Miguel on an adventure. "For some, Miguel is a pest who ruined a career and destroyed a legacy," Bratt stated, adding, "Ernesto de la Cruz is back for revenge and sends Miguel on an adventure to the land of the dead. As fate sometimes has a sense of humor, Miguel must team up with a beautiful superstar: me."

"Coco," released in 2017, resonated deeply with audiences, telling the story of Miguel, a Mexican boy passionate about music who defies his family's ban on instruments to pursue his dream. His journey leads him to the Land of the Dead, seeking his ancestors' blessing. The film has since become a cherished classic.

In "Coco 2," Miguel, now a teenager, will be accompanied by his loyal dog Dante as he embarks on these new adventures, guitar in hand. Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina, who directed the original film, are returning to helm the sequel. Mark Nielsen, a Pixar veteran known for his work on "Toy Story 4" and "Inside Out 2," will serve as producer. The film is scheduled for release in 2029.
