Jon Heder, who played the titular Napoleon Dynamite in the original movie, revealed during a virtual Wizard World panel he is keen to work on a sequel, but the decision rests with the film’s writer-director Jared Hess.
Naturally, fans want a sequel movie exploring what happened to Napoleon Dynamite and his friends later on in their lives.
This time around, Jon Heder would like to see a more “dark” take on the characters from the first movie.
The original Napoleon Dynamite was praised for its sharp departure from high-school movies tropes of overly polished protagonists getting up to all kinds of unbelievable hi-jinks.
