Wreck-it Ralph 2 release date: Original team will be back in Disney sequel

'I'm bad, and that's good! I will never be good, and that's not bad!'

Disney's current sequelitis continues with a revisit to another of its recent, blockbuster properties.

So step up to the plate, Wreck-it-Ralph. The studio revealed Wreck-it-Ralph 2 is gearing up for production via a Facebook Live video on the Disney page, with its original director Rich Moore and screenwriter Phil Johnston returning to their creative roles; alongside a return from star John C. Reilly, who voiced the film's conflicted good guy/bad guy.

The film originally saw Reilly's giant-fisted destroyer attempt to escape his destined role as an arcade game villain and become the hero for a day; setting him off on an adventure across the entire arcade itself, between games and into the world of Sugar Rush's kart-racing antics.

It's there he meets the ever-charming, wise-cracking Vanellope von Schweetz; voiced by Sarah Silverman, who has also been confirmed to return for the sequel.

Moore has teased to Collider that the new film will take on the digital age, as Ralph breaks the internet. Supposedly not in the same way Kim Kardashian did, though. And the whole thing is set to be unleashed in cinemas on 9 March, 2018. Happy wrecking!

For now, we can look forward to the release of Disney's next animated project, Moana; with the South Pacific set film featuring the voice work of Dwayne Johnson as the fearsome demi-god Maui.
