All About Interstellar?
Directed by Christopher Nolan and written by Christopher along with his brother Jonathan Nolan, ‘Interstellar’ released in 2014 is a sci-fi film and is deemed as one of the greatest science fiction movies ever launched. It features Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Matthew McConaughey, Ellen Burstyn, and Michael Caine. The story takes place in a dystopian future where human beings are striving their best to survive. The movie revolves around a company of astronauts who set out on a journey through a black hole near the planet Saturn seeking a new place for humans.
‘Interstellar’ was launched on October 26, 2014, and collected over a whopping $675 million worldwide at the box office. The overall estimated amount was $701 million following re-releases and secured the position in the top 10 for the highest-grossing movie of 2014.
The movie earned favorable responses for its impeccable storyline, graphic effects, direction, themes, performance, and so on. Interstellar was also nominated for five categories at the 87th Academy Awards and won Best Visual Effects, and earned several other awards.
Although the movie was a huge success, it’s been almost eight years since we last heard anything regarding a sequel. Fans are curious to know if the adventure will ever continue. Here’s what we know about Interstellar 2.
Interstellar 2 Release Date: Is It Happening?
Following the cliffhanger in the first movie, fans are anxious to find out what would happen in the next chapter. However, as per the latest information, the director and screenwriter Christopher Nolan has not made any plans on the sequel, indicating that the much anticipated Interstellar 2 would not happen.
This came as a disappointment for many fans because they had high hopes for the movie to return with the sequel, but it looks like the Nolan siblings want to keep the famous ending as it is and not continue the story further even though there is plenty of source material to make up for another movie. Henceforth, we concluded that Interstellar 2 has no plans of returning in the future.
According to IMDB, Interstellar 2 was supposed to come out on November 5, 2018, but Christopher Nolan, who was in charge of making the movie, decided to cancel it.
Interstellar 2 is Not Happening
Interstellar 2 has no known production or release intentions. The 2014 Christopher Nolan film Interstellar was a critical and economic success with its thought-provoking science fiction story. Despite the film’s popularity, Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. Discovery have not expressed interest in a sequel.
Christopher Nolan, who has reluctantly directed sequels save for The Dark Knight Trilogy, looks to be working on “Oppenheimer.” Nolan’s potential reluctance to cooperate with Warner Bros. again reduces the chances of an Interstellar sequel.

The first Interstellar was a standalone story with a satisfying ending, even if Cooper and Amelia Brand’s characters had open-ended possibilities. Any sequel would depend on Nolan’s desire to return to Interstellar and work with the studio.
Fans of the original film may wish for a sequel, but Interstellar 2 has no official plans or release date. A sequel is still possible, but fans must wait for formal statements from the filmmaker and studio.
