Sequel Update for One of 2025's Best Movies
A sequel to F1, the popular sports action movie starring Brad Pitt and one of the standout films of 2025, 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
The film was released in cinemas last June and features Oscar-winner Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a seasoned, nomadic racer given a second chance to shine in Formula 1. Kerry Condon plays Kate McKenna, the technical director of Sonny’s struggling F1 team. The pair share a compelling "will they, won’t they" romantic subplot.
Critical Acclaim and Highlights
"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."
The movie was also a major box office success, praised for its thrilling and realistic racing scenes.
Summary
The confirmation of talks about a sequel to F1 has excited fans eager to see more of the engaging story and spectacular racing action that defined 2025’s hit film.
