Sequel Update for 2025's Hit Movie F1
A sequel to F1, the popular sports action film released in 2025 starring Brad Pitt, may be in development. Irish Oscar-nominee Kerry Condon, known for The Banshees of Inisherin, revealed that producer Jerry Bruckheimer has discussed the possibility of continuing the story.
About the Original Film
Released in June 2025, F1 features Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, an ageing, nomadic racer who gets a second chance at Formula 1 success. Kerry Condon plays Kate McKenna, the technical director of Sonny's struggling team. Their characters share a “will they, won’t they” romantic tension.
Critical 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.”
Box Office Success
The film was a major box office success, further fueling interest in a potential sequel.
Summary
The confirmed talks about an F1 sequel promise exciting continuation for fans of the energetic and authentic racing drama that captivated audiences in 2025.
