Ansel Elgort has finally responded to two years of rumours and confirmed that a sequel to Baby Driver is in the works, with director and screenwriter Edgar Wright having already written the script.
Speaking to MTV News, Elgort said that Wright has “shared [the script] with me”, adding: “Yes, I think it’s going to happen. I think there will be a [sequel]. It has a different title, actually. You’re gonna have to have to ask Edgar that, though.”
While Elgort would not be prodded for more information, he did tease a “maybe” when asked whether he and Wright had made serious plans for when the film would go into production.
A Baby Driver sequel has been teased since the original film’s release in 2017, with Wright suggesting in interviews that he had many thoughts about a possible follow-up.
Last year speculation was increased when Wright celebrated the film’s one-year anniversary with an ambiguous message on his Instagram: “Had a wild ride with [Baby Driver] in the last 365 days. So I thank you for all your beautiful responses, it means everything. And who knows, maybe he could get back on the road soon...”
