After grossing over $1.6 billion at the global box office,Inside Out 2just got an unexpectedly juicy sequel update from one of its stars.Inside Out 2earned rave reviews and scores of 91% from critics and 95% from audiences onRotten Tomatoeson its way to becoming the highest-grossing movie of 2024 by every metric.Inside Out 2came nine years after the firstInside Out, so no one expected any kind of movement on a potentialInside Out 3less than a year removed fromInside Out 2. However, during a recent interview with Comicbook.com,Inside Out 2starPaul Walter Hauser, who voices embarrassment in the film, was asked about why he thinks the sequel resonated so much with audiences, and he wasn’t shy to offer up news about a potential threequel:
“Crazy, it’s nutty.I heard we might be doing another one. I don’t know when or how or where, but the movie just resonated with people of all ages and it really, I think what’s different about the Inside Out movies from other animated films isit doesn’t really treat children as less intellectual beings. It really tells a funny, brilliant story, and they’ll grow with it as they get older, they’ll get some of the other jokes and it’ll find new resonance. So I just love getting to be a part of these worlds. I mean, you look at Pixar, Cobra Kai, I’m in the new Fantastic Four film. So Marvel and now MLW, it’s like I love joining these families and these sorts of cinematic universes that they are and getting to be some part of it. It’s been such a joy, man.”
Hauser has certainly been busier than the average star of late. He has a new movie withWalton Gogginsin theaters,The Luckiest Man in America, but the filmfailed to find success at the box officeduring its first weekend. He’s also an Emmy winner for his role in the Apple TV+ original seriesBlack Bird, which starsTaron Egertonand the lateRay Liotta.

Hauser has also been set with a role inThe Fantastic Four: First Steps, but details about whom he could be playing are being kept under wraps. He’ll even star inThe Naked Gun,Balls Up, andDeliver Me from Nowhere.
