Damson Idris confirmed that talks about a sequel to F1 The Movie are already taking shape, according to the actor’s appearance on the F1 Beyond The Grid podcast.
Exciting conversations underway
Idris said “there are talks” but could not give details, adding that the primary focus is to honour Formula 1 and its fans. He emphasized that the first film succeeded because it appealed to viewers of all ages, from grandparents to children.
Impact on Idris’s career
Playing rookie driver Joshua Pearce, Idris described the role as a “rocketship” that broadened his opportunities and deepened his respect for the film industry. He noted the domino effect of a high‑profile release, which he sees as a catalyst for smaller arthouse projects.
Family‑friendly appeal and next steps
Idris reflected that fans watch the movie 19 times and appreciate the universal approach. He also hinted that future roles might mirror the feel‑good confidence he gained from F1, insisting that the next chapter will continue to “make the sport and the fans proud.”
