Director Neil Blomkamp confirmed the news while speaking to Dexerto about his new game Off The Grid, a battle royale game pinned for release next year.
What news, you ask? Right, that is kind of important.
Blomkamp announced that a District 9 sequel is in the works, while the title or potential plot is under wraps; Blomkamp did say the follow-up is coming "within the near future."
According to previous interviews from Blomkamp, a sequel script was still in development in 2021 with District 9 co-writer Terri Tatchell and actor Sharlto Copley (Sharlto played Wikus van de Merwe in the original).
For those unfamiliar, District 9 mixed sci-fi and socio-political messages that served as a commentary on society. The film made $210.8 million at the box office, providing a great return on an estimated $30 million budget.
Critics also praised the film, meaning a sequel has a committed audience, but they come with high expectations for the franchise.
