One of 2025's Best Movies Gets Exciting Sequel Update from Irish Star

A sequel to F1, the popular sports action movie starring Brad Pitt and one of 2025's standout films, may be in development. Irish Oscar-nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) revealed that producer Jerry Bruckheimer has discussed the possibility of an F1 sequel with her.

The original film premiered in cinemas last June, featuring Oscar-winner Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a seasoned, nomadic racer-for-hire given a shot at Formula 1 glory once again. Kerry Condon played Kate McKenna, the technical director of Sonny’s struggling racing team. Their characters shared a "will they, won’t they" romantic tension throughout the film.

Critical Praise and Unique Racing Scenes

“Like [director Joseph] Kosinski’s previous blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, his latest does not reinvent the wheel. It hits all the best beats of the sports movie formula (the behind-the-scenes drama, the rivals learning the importance of teamwork) with such energy, enthusiasm and charm that it is nearly impossible not to be won over by the film.”

“It helps, too, that it boasts phenomenal racing sequences. These were accomplished by splicing footage of Brad Pitt and [co-star] Damson Idris really driving F2 cars, made to look like F1 cars, with footage captured from real F1 races. The end result: some of the most authentic, visceral racing scenes we’ve ever seen, which immerse audiences in the action like never before.”

The film was a major box office success, cementing its place as one of the year’s most exciting sports movies.
