In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures Animation Presidents Kristine Belson and Damien de Froberville indicated that a Kpop Warriors sequel is unlikely to be released in 2029. When questioned about the rumored 2029 release date, given production delays, Belson concurred. Regarding the sequel’s progress and whether Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans are currently working on it, Belson stated that the studio’s priority is the Oscar 2026 campaign. According to Omelete, Belson and de Froberville explained that animations of this scale require considerable time, making a 2029 release improbable. Belson added, “It will be their turn to be together again in a room.” Therefore, the Kpop Warriors sequel will likely arrive after 2029.
Meanwhile, Jiyoung Yoo, the voice actress for Zoey in Warriors of Kpop, hinted at a possible prequel set during Japan’s occupation of South Korea (1910–1945). Maggie Kang, co-director of Kpop Demon Hunters, also expressed interest in a prequel exploring other Honmoon guardians during this period. Kang stated, “I love Pansori, traditional Korean singing style… It might not be right for a family film, maybe something more serious… But I’d sure love to make a Warriors of Kpop movie set in that era. It could be like our ancient Greece.” Kang also noted the potential for further exploration of these characters in a sequel. Contributing to the delay, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans have been occupied with awards season events. Huntrx and the Saja Boys from Kpop Demon Hunters even appeared at the 83rd Golden Globes, with a photo showing Huntrx eating instant ramen. Sony’s production updates suggest that Kpop Demon Hunters 2 will not be released in 2029 due to these various factors.
