The news comes courtesy of a new feature from The Wall Street Journal, which breaks down Pixar’s current leadership and how that factors into the studio’s shifting focus on sequels and big franchises. In a mention of upcoming sequels like Toy Story 5, Incredibles 3, and Coco 2, it’s also stated that Pixar is developing a third Monsters, Inc. movie, according to people familiar with the matter, and if that’s true, that is truly great news.
Monsters Inc. Is Getting a Long-Awaited Sequel (And Hopefully It’s in the Present)
In 2023, Pixar released Monsters University, which featured the return of the dynamic duo known as Sulley and Mike Wazowski, but it wasn’t a sequel to the original. Instead, it was a prequel film that followed Sully and Mike when they first met and how they became best friends, so when it comes to the big screen, we actually haven’t received a proper Monsters, Inc. sequel.
Pixar has a chance to fix that with Monsters, Inc. 3, which could run with the ending of the original and show us what happens next in the lives of Sulley, Mike, and Boo. If you remember the original film, by the end of the movie, Mike is the factory’s top comedian, and Sulley is now the monster in charge of the whole thing. Boo is living her life on the other side of her door, and a time jump would be interesting to see how things have progressed since we last checked into this world.
