Exciting Sequel Update for 2025's Hit Movie F1
A sequel to F1, the acclaimed sports action film starring Brad Pitt and a standout of 2025, may be in development. Irish Oscar nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) revealed that producer Jerry Bruckheimer has discussed a potential follow-up with her.
About the Original Film
Released in cinemas last June, F1 features Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, an ageing, wandering racer given a fresh shot at Formula 1 glory. Condon plays Kate McKenna, the technical director of Sonny’s struggling F1 team, entwined in a tense “will they, won’t they” romance with him.
Critical Acclaim and Reception
“Like [director Joseph] Kosinski’s previous blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, his latest does not reinvent the wheel. It hits all the best beats of the sports movie formula (the behind-the-scenes drama, the rivals learning the importance of teamwork) with such energy, enthusiasm and charm that it is nearly impossible not to be won over by the film.
It helps, too, that it boasts phenomenal racing sequences. These were accomplished by splicing footage of Brad Pitt and [co-star] Damson Idris really driving F2 cars, made to look like F1 cars, with footage captured from real F1 races.
The end result: some of the most authentic, visceral racing scenes we’ve ever seen, which immerse audiences in the action like never before.”
F1 was also a major success at the box office.
Summary
The promising news of an F1 sequel builds on the original’s blend of thrilling racing action and engaging character drama, fueling excitement among fans and critics alike.
