Original Voice Cast Members John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman Set to Return
Ralph Wrecks the Mobile Game Disney Crossy Road in Celebration of the Announcement
Wreck-It Ralph is heading back to the big screen, and this time, heโs wrecking the internet.

The untitled sequel will hit theatersโliterallyโon March 9, 2018.
The filmmakers and Reilly made the announcement on Facebook Live on June 30.
โFrom the moment we started working on the first Wreck-It Ralph, we knew there were so many possibilities with these characters,โ said Moore, who has been developing it since shortly after the release of the first film, and while directing this yearโs critically-acclaimed hit Zootopia with Byron Howard. โThis time, Ralphโs wrecking wreaks havoc on the Webโas only he can do. Characters we loved in the first film are back and we are ecstatic to be working with themโand the actors who voice themโonce again.โ
The world of the internet is the perfect place to send Ralph and Vanellope,โ said Johnston. โThe scope and scale are so vast and the possibilities for comedy are endless.โโRalph is a character very near and dear to my heart,โ added Reilly. โI’m really looking forward to playing the big lug again. Making the first โWreck-It Ralphโ was one of the most special experiences I’ve ever had and I’m really looking forward to bringing him back to life. So many kids I’ve met all over the world are excited to see him again, too. They tell me all the time!โ
