If you currently August moon streaming and longing for Nicholas Galitzine’s dreamy Hayes Campbell after devouring the Anne Hathaway-led, impossibly sweet, feather-light waffle that The idea of you, we have good news. The former Prince Charming will be back on the screens before you know it, to embody another taciturn royal: Britain’s Prince Henry, in a sequel to the frothy Amazon hit Red, white and royal blue. Join him? Taylor Zakhar Perez, of course, in the role of Alex Claremont-Diaz, his friend and the first son of the United States.
The announcement came on May 9, during a question and answer session after the film’s screening in Los Angeles, attended by Galitzine, Perez, director of the first film Matthew López, and Casey McQuiston, the author of the bestseller about which the film is based. . based, as they all celebrated the success of the original film and continued their campaign for an Emmy nomination.
“These two have been on a lot of red carpets over the past few months, and the question they keep getting asked is, ‘Are we getting a sequel?'” Entertainment weeklyGerrad Hall told the audience at the event, nodding to Galitzine and Perez. ‘And they say, ‘It’s not on us.’ It’s on these other people. So I’m going to ask the other people. Matthew, is there a sequel coming and are you working on anything?†In a video captured in the publication, López can be seen grinning. “Yes, there will be a sequel to the movie.” Literally hear screams of joy. A new promotional image then appeared on the large screen above the panel, showing a messy wedding cake next to the words: ‘Would you like another slice?’. Who wouldn’t do that?
Plot details are of course being kept under wraps, although we do know that López is co-writing the script with McQuiston, meaning the sequel should – fingers crossed – do justice to its predecessor. Keep your eyes peeled for more casting news (we’re looking at you, Uma Thurman) and let the speculation about the next phase of Henry and Alex’s relationship begin. Could a royal wedding be planned? Well, Galitzine did call Thurman his ‘mother-in-law’ on the red carpet at the Met Gala earlier this week, so our fingers are crossed.
