Matt Groening has appeared to confirm the existence of a sequel to 2007’s The Simpsons Movie, after revealing at the San Diego Comic Con that Disney will likely greenlight the project due to its box office potential.
“We didn’t have a B-team waiting to do The Simpsons Movie, so the same people who wrote, animated, voiced and did the music for The Simpsons TV show also did the movie.
Rights to The Simpsons were acquired by Disney earlier this year when it purchased 20th Century Fox and all of its related properties.
“No doubt there will be another Simpsons movie one of these days,” the show’s creator said.
